Active clinical trials for "Spinal Stenosis"

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of NuVasive interbody implants when used during thoracic and/or lumbar spine surgery as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes. This study is being undertaken to identify possible residual risks and to clarify mid- to long-term clinical performance that may affect the benefit/risk ratios of these interbody implants.

The aim of this study is to compare biomechanical walking parameters between patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis and healthy elderly.

It is seen that patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis often experience balance problems. Although the relationship between muscle thickness and balance has been explained, there are insufficient studies investigating the relationship between balance problems and muscle thickness in patients with LSS. In addition, no study has been found comparing the difference in muscle thickness and cross-sectional area in LSS patients with poor and normal balance. In addition, biopsychosocial factors such as pain, disability and fear of falling in balance disorders have not been adequately explained. The aim of our study is to compare the results of muscle thickness and cross-sectional area, pain, disability and fear of falling in patients with LSS with and without balance problems and to examine the relationship between them.

The objective is to observe the evolution of walking parameters during the surgery process and find which of all calculated walking parameters represent the best indicators of functional disabilities and postoperative recovery for patient with lumbar spinal stenosis.

The photographical and functional parameters of paravertebral muscle in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis will be measured to investigate the correlation between paravertebral muscle degeneration and symptoms and prognosis of patients.By measuring the parameters of paravertebral muscle with normal people, the differences between the patients and normal people will be compared to establish an appropriate paravertebral muscle evaluation method.

The purpose of this study is to systematically, prospectively compare surgical fusion techniques for thoracolumbar spinal fusion patients and assess long-term patient outcomes and revision rates following surgery.

Our primary objective is to design a cohort to determine the treatment outcome of different surgical interventions of the degenerative lumbar spine highlighting the expediency and value of the current surgical treatment program.

Total of 60 patients with a diagnosis of spinal stenosis is planned for 30 patients, with physical therapy modeling and exercise, and 30 patients with surgical treatment. Patients will be evaluated by the same physician 5 times, before early primary treatment, 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month and 12th month after treatment.

The SPINEREG study is a prospective observational registry. Eligible patients are subjects undergoing spine surgery at the participating institutions. Baseline health status and follow-up health status are recorded at pre-established steps.

Surgical interventions for the removal of intervertebral disc fragments or to enlarge a narrow spine canal are commonly performed worldwide and are considered efficient. Concomitant low back pain is not uncommon among patients with lumbar nerve compression and neurological symptoms. When present, controversy persists in the literature regarding its ideal management. Although neurological symptoms improve after decompressive surgery, the presence of residual chronic low back pain may worsen satisfaction scores and cause functional disability. The hypothesis of the present study is that the presence of atrophy of the paraspinal and trunk muscles predicts chronic low back pain after lumbar neural decompression. If confirmed, this finding will aid in better planning of physical rehabilitation strategies for this group of patients, as well as a clearer prediction regarding surgical treatment outcomes for patients and health professionals.
