Active clinical trials for "Spondylosis"

This study will compare the effect of segmental spine mobilization and entire spine mobilization in the patients with lumber spondylosis. There will be two groups ; experimental and control. Half of study group will receive segmental mobilization along with conventional treatment such as moist heat , soft tissue mobilization and traditional stretching exercises and half of study group will receive entire spine mobilization along with the same conventional treatment given to other group.

All the patients of cervical spondylosis which were enrolled in this study were assessed in Rehabilitation centre of Yusra General Hospital. Patients who compete the inclusion criteria are randomly assigned by the seal envelop method in to two groups interventional and control group. There is nine sessions of three weeks rehabilitation program and Pain is assessed on Numeric pain rating scale, Disability on Neck Disability index and ROM is assessed by Goniometer in 1ST, 4TH and last visit. Three sessions of intervention is given to patient per week.

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to assess and compare radiographic and clinical outcomes in patients who are to undergo combined interbody/posterolateral lumbar fusion procedures, supplemented with pedicle screw instrumentation, using one of the following interbody cages; the Nexxt Spine Nexxt MatrixxTM 3D-printed titanium cage or the HonourTM poly-ether-ether-ketone cage.

Patients undergoing spine surgery often have considerable pain post-operatively and frequently require opioid medication (Percocet, Norco, oxycodone, morphine, etc.) to control their pain postoperatively. The widespread use of opioids, however, is associated with a number of side effects. These include: sedation, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, dizziness and itching amongst others. Some investigators have suggested that anti-inflammatory medications (the same class of medicines as advil, ibuprofen, etc.) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) can reduce the total dose of opioid required postoperatively and, as a result, lower opioid-related side effects. The purpose of this study is to test this hypothesis and determine if postoperative anti-inflammatory medications and postoperative acetaminophen can reduce the amount of opioid required to control pain following surgery. A secondary goal of this study is to examine if the change in pain medication will lead to decreased overall pain levels, decreased opioid-related side effects and improved function [quicker ambulation with physical therapy (PT), earlier return to work, etc.].

The use of autologous mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) in form of the BMC in combination with allograft is an effective option how to enhance the Posterolateral Fusion (PLF) healing. Allograft by itself is not an effective material as a posterior onlay graft for the PLF in adult surgery.

The objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate the performance of Integra Accell Evo3 Demineralized Bone Matrix as an adjunct for instrumented lumbar spine fusion with a retrospective comparison to a historical patient cohort.

The investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of kinesio tape application on the sense of proprioception in patients with cervical spondylosis.This research aims to determine the relationship between the sense of cervical proprioception and neck pain intensity, neck disability and quality of life, and to determine the relationship between cervical spinal MRI findings and cervical proprioception. Studies conducted to date are limited to the evaluation of patients who underwent kinesio tape for neck pain in terms of joint range of motion, pain, and disability. In a study examining the relationship between cervical kinesio-tape application and cervical proprioception sense; The patient group consists of the young population and the patient evaluation was made immediately after the end of the treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of kinesio tape applied to the elderly patient group with cervical spondylosis, where the cervical proprioception sense is more affected, with cervical proprioception sense in the mid-term and to examine its relationship with cervical spinal MRI phenotypes. The possible relationship between proprioceptive sensory deficit and joint degeneration is based on a combination of neuromuscular control dysfunction and periarticular degeneration. Thus, the investigators aimed to improve the proprioceptive sense, reduce pain and increase functionality in the elderly patient group with kinesio-tape in the study.

According to chewing gum can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, it is used as an intervention measure for patients after lumbar surgery to evaluate the effect of chewing gum on improving abdominal distension of patients after lumbar surgery, so as to provide basis for the application and promotion of chewing gum in lumbar postoperative nursing

Use of cervical orthosis after instrumented posterior cervical spinal surgery is still widely practiced even though modern fusion techniques likely do not require additional stabilization from an external orthosis. This is a single, centre randomized, non-blinded equivalence trial. Patients undergoing multi-level posterior cervical fusion will be randomized to cervical orthosis (CO group) or no orthosis (NO group). Immediately following surgery patients in the CO group will be fitted with a Philadelphia collar prior to being transferred to the recovery room. On the patient ward a physiotherapist will fit the patient with a Cervimax/Aspen/Miami J collar which will be worn at all times for 6 weeks according the standard of care. The NO group will have no specific precautions applied to their neck range of motion. Outcomes will be assessed prior to surgery, on the second day after surgery, and at 2, 4, 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. The primary outcome will be neck pain score on the numerical rating scale (ranging from 0-10 with higher scores indicating more severe pain) during the first 4 weeks after surgery with an equivalence margin of 2.0 points. Secondary outcomes will be neck disability, general health, treatment satisfaction, pain medication use, adverse events, neck range of motion, time meeting discharge status, and compliance in wearing the collar.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of 12 weeks of daily treatment with teriparatide on spine fusion in adult patients who are undergoing multi-level posterolateral spine fusion surgery for degenerative conditions of the lumbar spine.
