Active clinical trials for "Spinal Stenosis"

The aim of this study was to determine the Turkish validity and reliability of Lumbar Spine Surgery Expectations Survey developed by Mancuso.

To determine the expected pain response timeline for patients receiving epidural steroid injections, our team plans to assess patient pain severity and degree of pain relief every 3 days for 23 days.

The first aim of this study was to elaborate and validate a treadmill walking test that would help discriminate between neurogenic claudication from vascular claudication. The second objective of this study is to determine if the treadmill walking test can discriminate spinal stenosis from low back pain with radiating pain in lower limb.

Is there a relationship between changes in motor evoked potential latency intraoperatively and post-operative changes in walking function in patients undergoing spinal decompression.

The purpose of this patient registry is to prospectively collect data on patients who are having spinal surgery with EBI and Interpore Cross Spine Products.

Pain sensitivity would be associated with surgical outcomes after lumbar spine surgery.

This study is to quantify changes in muscle activity and pelvic stability during prolonged walking in patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (sLSS) and healthy control subjects and to determine their association with the severity of the stenosis and the crosssectional area and fatty atrophy of lumbo-pelvic-hip muscles.

The primary objective is to determine the validity of the Six-Minute-Walking Test (6WT) and Timed-Up and Go (TUG) test to measure objective functional impairment (OFI) in patients undergoing either interlaminar epidural steroid injection (ESI) or transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESI) for lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD)

Age related changes in the lumbar spine can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis) causing leg and back pain. Spinal stenosis can be associated with a misalignment of the spine caused by forward slippage of a vertebrae over another. This instability is diagnosed using diagnostic imaging. With signs of instability the spine surgeon might choose a fusion of the vertebrae. This is a more complex procedure in relation to the simple decompression preformed without instability for spinal stenosis. The purpose of this study is to identify characteristics of instability of the lumbar spine on diagnostic imaging, and investigate associations with surgical data and patient reported outcomes from the National Spine databases from Denmark and Sweden. This will support spine surgeons in providing evidence-based surgical treatment for spinal stenosis with or without signs of instability

The investigators will prospectively evaluate for the presence of amyloid deposits in ligamentum flavum (yellow ligament) tissue samples obtained from patients undergoing spinal stenosis surgery. Patients who have tissue that stains positive for amyloid will be referred to an amyloidosis specialist.
