Active clinical trials for "Spinal Stenosis"

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehabilitation program combining education and exercises on walking capacity in patients with LSS causing NC. The intervention group will receive standardized education and specific exercises while the control group will only receive standardized education. The program in both groups will last for 6 weeks with 4 evaluation timepoints (baseline, week 2, week 4 and post-intervention assessment). The primary outcomes will be walking capacity measured with the Self-Paced Walking Test and the secondary outcomes will be back and leg pain intensity, LSS-related disability, self-efficacy, level of physical activity, anxiety and depression, physical activity level, gait pattern characteristics, balance, and global perceived change.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of individualized, precise and standardized open-door posterior cervical surgery through a single-center, exploratory clinical study, so as to provide a more reliable basis for the treatment of cervical spinal stenosis.

The primary purpose of this study is to asses the effect of caudal epidural injection guided by a combination of ultrasound and fluoroscopy on the duration of the procedure and the amount of radiation exposed during the procedure, compared to the application of only fluoroscopy-guided. Secondary aims are to reveal the presence of structural variations that prevent injection by examining the morphology of the sacral hiatus by ultrasonography.

This study will describe postoperative pain management for spine surgery patients receiving liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel®) compared to patients not receiving the drug.

This is a prospective single-center study. Patients requiring posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) for degenerative disease are prospectively enrolled and followed. Patients enrolled in this study have asymptomatic pre-existing spinal canal stenosis at adjacent segment. This study will focus on the effects of preventative limited decompression at adjacent segment.

This is a randomized controlled multicenter trail comparing physical therapy to surgical decompression in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. The 0-hypothesis is that there is no difference in the efficacy of structured physical therapy compared to surgical decompression. Our aim is to evaluate if physical therapy can serve as a nonsurgical alternative for patients with LSS, where the severity of symptoms indicates the need of surgical decompression.

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is the most common spinal degenerative disease. For conservative treatment failure, open lumbar decompression and fusion surgery is the main surgical treatment. After decades of development, open lumbar decompression and fusion surgery has been the standard treatment. However, there are still people and conditions that cannot be covered, such as elderly people who intolerable surgery, severe osteoporosis, and re-stenosis at adjacent segments after fusion. Percutaneous spinal endoscopic lumbar spinal decompression technique could be performed under local anesthesia, soft tissue damage is minimized, and effective spinal decompression can be achieved. There are still some controversial points of LSS decompression under percutaneous endoscope surgery, such as the range of decompression, choice of approach, postoperative spinal stability, learning curve, surgical safety, long-term effects of endoscopic treatment of restenosis at adjacent segments after fusion surgery. The purpose of this study was to solve these controversial points. A multi-center, prospective registration study based on the real world is planned. The total sample size is about 600 cases (300 cases in endoscopic surgery group, 300 cases in open decompression and fusion group). The mid- to long-term clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of limaprost(Opalmon® ) on walking ability, low back pain and leg pain after transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) was administered compared to the placebo group.

A prospective double-blind, randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of a single-dose of intraoperative methadone in patients undergoing spinal fusion.

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.
