Active clinical trials for "Intervertebral Disc Displacement"

The aim of the study is to examine the effects of graston and dry cupping techniques applied in addition to the conservative treatment program on neck awareness, grip strength, balance and sleep quality in patients with cervical disc herniation between the ages of 18-65.

Lumbar disc herniation, which causes 5% of all low back pain, is the rupture of the annulus fibrosis in the intervertebral disc in the lumbar region and the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus at various degrees, and as a result, the spinal cord or the nerves arising from it are compressed.Aerobic exercise is one of the most important elements in low back pain rehabilitation.Many studies have shown that individuals with low back pain have low muscle strength of the back extensors and flexors when compared to individuals who do not show symptoms, and that these muscles are strong and their aerobic fitness is high, minimizing trauma-related musculoskeletal damage.The aim of this study is to examine the effect of core stabilization exercises on functionality and core muscles in patients with LDH.

A multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled comparison of the prodisc C SK and prodisc C Vivo to the control, a similar, legally marketed total disc replacement device in subjects with symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD).

The prevalence of post-surgical lumbar neuropathic radiculopathy is approximately 30%. Poor response to the treatments recommended for neuropathic pain, namely antidepressants and/or gabapentinoids, requires the development of new techniques to prevent this chronic pain. Certain well-tolerated techniques, such as the administration of plasma enriched with platelets and fibrin (PRF), are increasingly used in regenerative medicine for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Thus, a periradicular intraoperative application of PRF may have an analgesic effect on the intensity of residual postsurgical neuropathic pain after disc herniation surgery.

This study applies 3D-printed customized guide plate in assisting the accurate puncture in transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) combined with pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment. This technique can shorten reduce the intra-operative radiation, and do not affect the surgical outcome.

To date, no consensus exists on which anterior surgical technique is more cost-effective to treat cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD). The most commonly used surgical treatment for patients with single- or multilevel symptomatic CDDD is anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF). However, new complaints of radiculopathy and/or myelopathy commonly develop at adjacent levels, also known as clinical adjacent segment pathology (CASP). It remains unknown to what extent kinematics, surgery-induced fusion and natural history of disease play a role in its development. Anterior cervical discectomy with arthroplasty (ACDA) is thought to reduce the incidence of CASP by preserving motion in the operated segment. ACDA is often discouraged as the implant costs are higher whilst the clinical outcomes are similar to ACDF. However, preventing CASP might be a reason for ACDA to be a more cost-effective technique in the long-term. In this randomized controlled trial patients will be randomized to receive ACDF or ACDA in a 1:1 ratio. Adult patients with single- or multi-level CDDD and symptoms of radiculopathy and/or myelopathy will be included. The primary outcome is cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of both techniques from a societal perspective. Secondary objectives are the differences in clinical and radiological outcomes between the two techniques, as well as the qualitative process surrounding anterior decompression surgery. All outcomes will be measured at baseline and every 6 months till 4 years postoperatively. High quality evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of both ACDA and ACDF is lacking, to date no prospective trials from a societal perspective exist. Considering the ageing of the population and the rising healthcare costs, the need for a solid clinical cost-effectiveness trial addressing this question is high.

Erector Spina Plane (ESP) block has been widely used in recent years, and it is also used in the control of postoperative analgesia in many types of surgery due to its proximity to the central area and its wide spread feature. In this study, the investigators aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of ESP block on postoperative pain management in anterior cervical disc and fusion surgeries.

This is a double-blind, saline-controlled, and randomized study with blinded assessments using a single dose. Subjects that have a current diagnosis of chronic lumbar disc disease and meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled. Chronic lumbar disc disease is defined as back and/or radicular pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history, physical examination, and radiographic measures such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), plain film, myelography, discography, or other acceptable means.

The goal of this clinical trial is to establish safety and tolerability of STA363 injected into a herniated intervertebral disc in patients with sciatica due to disc herniation. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: Is the treatment safe and tolerable? Does the volume of the disc and the herniation decrease? Is sciatica reduced? Participants will be given an injection into the herniated disc of either placebo or STA363 (one dose). Researchers will compare safety, tolerability, effects on disc and herniation volume and on symptoms between the group of patients injected with placebo and the group injected with STA363.

The study aims to study the effect of intraoperative epidural application of anesthetic cocktail following endoscopic lumbar discectomy in improving postoperative pain, length of hospital stay, time at first dose analgesia, post-operative opioid consumption, functional outcomes, time return to work, and postoperative complications
