Long-term Follow-up Motion Analysis of ACD Versus ACDA
Cervical MyelopathyCervical Radiculopathy4 moreRationale: Cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD) is a common cause of cervical radiculopathy, myelopathy or myeloradiculopathy. Surgical treatment is indicated when conservative therapies do not provide sufficient relief or when neurological complaints are progressive. The main surgical techniques are anterior cervical discectomy with (ACDF) or without fusion (ACD), whereas both techniques result in high fusion rates. Short term outcomes of surgery show good clinical results. Long term follow-up shows a drop-in satisfaction rates, often due to the occurrence of new complaints. Pathology is often located at levels adjacent to the previously operated segment, known as adjacent segment disease (ASDis). This is thought to be the results of loss of motion at the previously operated and fused segment. Anterior cervical discectomy with arthroplasty (ACDA) is developed in an effort to reduce the incidence of ASDis by preserving physiological motion in the operated segment. Objective: To investigate physiological motion of the cervical spine the investigators will analyze motion patterns at the long-term in patients who underwent surgical treatment for CDDD, either ACD or ACDA. Study design: Fundamental research. This is a prospective study that includes a cohort of patients previously operated in the setting of a randomized controlled trial. Study population: Adult patients with an indication of surgical treatment for cervical radiculopathy as a consequence of CDDD were enrolled in an RCT between 2007 and 2014 and assigned to undergo ACD or ACDA. Flexion and extension cinematographic recordings of the cervical spine were performed, with the last one at one-year follow-up. The majority of patients in the ACDA group (80%) showed a normal sequence of segmental contribution, which was not the case in the ACD group. This cohort will now be asked to participate in the long-term follow-up study assessing the motion patterns 6-13 years after ACD or ACDA surgery. Intervention: One flexion and extension cinematographic recording of the cervical spine and will be made. Main study parameters/endpoints: The sequence of segmental contributions in sagittal rotation during flexion and extension of the cervical spine will be assessed in the long-term follow-up of surgical treatment. Secondary outcomes will be to assess the amount of degeneration based on the Kellgren Score (KS) and the segmental range of motion (sROM). Long term clinical outcomes will be assessed according to VAS, NDI, SF-36 and Odom's criteria. Patients will be asked whether they have new neurological symptoms and whether they have had a re-operation. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Participants receive cinematographic recordings once. The amount of radiation is a negligible risk. There will be no health benefits. There will be no follow-up.
Effect of Remimazolam on Motor Evoked Potential

Enhanced Recovery After Spinal Surgery Protocol Versus Conventional Care in Non Insulin Diabetic...
ERASSurgery2 moreenhanced recovery after spinal surgery protocol (ERAS) versus conventional care in non insulin diabetic patients. Our hypothesis is that non-insulin dependent diabetic patients who will undergo lumbar decompression surgery following ERAS care may have higher quality of recovery after surgery, lower postoperative pain scores, decreased opioid consumption, reduced Length of stay and reduce perioperative stress compared to conventional general anaesthesia.

Effect of Neuromuscular Blockade on Operating Conditions and Overall Satisfaction During Spinal...
Neuromuscular BlockadeSurgery2 moreThe investigators aim to investigate operating conditions, postoperative recovery and overall satisfaction of surgeons between deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) group and restricted NMB group during spinal surgery under general anesthesia. The investigators hypothesize that this study can present good surgical conditions, postoperative recovery outcomes and overall satisfaction of surgeons in deep NMB group, thereby proving the advantages of deep NMB as well as flaws of restricted NMB in spine surgeries.
Spinal Cord Stimulation in Patients With Post-Laminectomy Syndrome in Testing Phase
LaminectomyPost-laminectomy Syndrome2 moreTraditionally, pain relief through spinal cord stimulation has been associated with the appearance of paresthesia in the affected area. Several parameters are set to maximize the overexposure zone, such as frequency,and pulse width. Although this technique has improved pain in many patients, paresthesia itself can be uncomfortable. Traditionally, the occurrence of paresthesias has been considered to be a predictor of success in pain elimination, while the non-occurrence of paresthesias would indicate failure. So far, few studies have reported pain relief below the threshold of onset of paresthesia. Some clinical trials for pathologies other than the one considered in this study have achieved relief below the threshold by reducing the amplitude of the stimulus. Recently, however, it has been observed in a pilot study that, by increasing the frequency of spinal cord stimulation to 1 kilohertz, it is possible to significantly improve pain relief compared to less frequent conventional stimulation based on the occurrence of paresthesias. A recent review by the Cochrane Library concluded that conventional spinal cord stimulation for pain relief of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (or FBSS) requires further clinical studies and better designs to demonstrate its superiority over other therapeutic options. Therefore, although spinal cord stimulation is accepted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), new techniques are being introduced that offer better results in terms of pain relief. Among these techniques, there is the high frequency mode, which allows avoiding the annoying sensation of paresthesia that substitutes pain with the conventional technique. In order to provide greater rigour and scientific quality, the present study is proposed, in which the conventional spinal cord stimulation (CME) technique (control branch or CME) is compared with paresthesias and a standard frequency (60 hertz) with a high frequency (1000 hertz) EVOLVE system (Evolve workflow - standardized guidance to simplify the trial and implant experience and optimize patient outcomes) (experimental branch or EME) by means of a design with a high degree of scientific evidence, randomising the global sample of patients to each of the two branches of stimulation in the study (blind to the patient) and crossing the branches after a period of washing
Erector Spine Block for Back Surgery
Spine DiseaseRegional AnaesthesiaIn spine surgery postoperative pain can often be severe and difficult to treat.With the use of ultrasound, the performance of plane blocks and other techniques like root blocks, facet infiltration have become possible without the use of either unreliable " pop-techniques" or the use of x-ray.The erector spinae block was recently described as a safe and simple and safe technique for neuropathic pain and acute post surgical pain, with effect on the dorsal rami of the spinal nerves and with promising results. In this observational pilot study we want to test the influence of these to blocks on the postoperative pain and opioid consumption after spine fusion.

High Dose Steroids for Dysphagia
DysphagiaCervical Spine DiseaseFew existing data currently indicates that anti-inflammatory drugs could help diminish the local cervical inflammation tough to cause the dysphagia, hoarseness and dyspnea after an anterior surgical approach to the spine. This study aims to evaluate the effect of high dose of steroids on dysphagia after an anterior cervical spine procedure. Patients subjected to a cervical spine surgery through an anterior approach will be randomized to a treatment group receiving 3 doses of IV dexamethasone (decadron) and a placebo group receiving saline. Outcome will be measured with dysphagia scales, modified barium swallow and rhino-pharyngo-laryngoscopy, all done pre and post-operatively. Secondary outcomes involve neurological condition, pain and fusion rate.
