The main objective is to determine whether the realisation of an emergency spine MRI in addition to CT-scan( Computed Tomography) in patients with thoraco-lumbar spine injuries changes the therapeutic management.
NCT05769114
Treatment for acute traumatic thoracolumbar burst fractures differs significantly across the world in patients without neurological impairments and without damage to the posterior column of the spine. This randomized controlled, non-inferiority clinical trial's goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of surgery versus initial non-surgical treatment for patients with traumatic thoracolumbar spine burst fractures who don't have any neurological symptoms. The study's precise objectives are to: 1. evaluate the clinical outcome (Oswestry Disability Index) 2. evaluate the radiography result (restoration and maintenance of spinal alignment) 3. determine the prevalence of complications at least 24 months of follow-up of neurologically unaffected patients with acute traumatic burst fractures. Both groups will get the same therapy using standardized methods: The surgical group's entire patient population will get combined anterior-posterior (360°) spinal fusion therapy. Three-point hyperextension orthoses will be used to treat all patients in the non-surgical group for six weeks following the injury.
NCT02931279
Prospective, multicenter non comparative and observational study (post-market clinical follow-up). Patients operated with PASS OCT® manufactured by MEDICREA® INTERNATIONAL between July 2016 and July 2017. The inclusion period will be 12 months and the follow-up 24 months
NCT03911492
This multicenter study will enroll 100 patients with acute traumatic cervical and thoracic SCI who have a lumbar intrathecal catheter inserted within 24 hours of their injury. The lumbar intrathecal catheter will be inserted pre-operatively for the measurement of ITP and the collection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. SCPP will be calculated as the difference between MAP and the ITP. There are two important distinct yet related objectives in this prospective interventional study. 1. Determine the effect of SCPP maintenance ≥ 65 mmHg in acute SCI on neurologic recovery as measured by ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) grade conversion and motor score improvement. 2. Collect CSF and blood samples for the measurement of neurochemical biomarkers and storage for future biomarker discovery and validation studies.
NCT05321186
the main aim of this study is to evaluate the results of performing minimally invasive surgical management for cases with traumatic spinopelvic instability and spinopelvic dissociation. This will include using percutaneous pedicle and S2 alar iliac screws, minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and transtubular posterior decompression.
NCT04956588
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the intelligent orthopedic minimally invasive surgery system developed by Shenzhen Xinjunte Intelligent Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. in spinal surgery.
NCT02566655
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of intravenous infusion of fucosylated autologous bone marrow cells as a new therapy in patients with established osteoporosis by a prospective, single-center, open, non-randomized and unblinded clinical trial.
NCT02950532
The objective of this investigation is to confirm the results obtained in a pilot study showing that certain radiological parameters based on computed tomography (CT) scans seem to reliably detect posterior ligament complex (PLC) injury without the need for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
NCT01761084
The long-term goal of our research team is to conduct a large multicentre study to evaluate whether tailored home exercise can prevent fractures in high-risk individuals. The proposed project will address the feasibility of such a trial, but will also evaluate the effect of exercise on quality of life, posture and many other outcomes important to individuals with vertebral fractures. Physiotherapists will conduct 6 home visits with participants to deliver the intervention (or social visit for controls) using a similar model to previous work by our team and others. The purpose of this pilot study is determining the feasibility of recruitment, retention and adherence of an international multicentre randomized controlled study evaluating the efficacy of thrice-weekly home exercise for one year among women with vertebral fracture. As secondary objectives, the investigators will examine the effects of exercise on function, balance, quality of life, pain, falls and fractures. The primary hypothesis is that the investigators will successfully recruit and retain the target sample, and achieve an adherence rate of 60%.
NCT02719340
Although long-segment posterior spinal fixation might provide more rigid fixation, the procedure increases perioperative morbidities in the elderly. The present study reviews the results of short-segment decompression and reconstruction in thoracolumbar fragile fractures.
NCT02603874
The current method of incision localization in many surgical procedures requires a doctor to reference a medical image, such as an X-ray, to judge where on the body an incision should be made. However, the precise information of the scan is not shown on the patient's skin. Surgeons commonly use palpation to locate the point of incision. They may feel for the area directly or find landmarks under the skin and estimate the location from there. This can be challenging due to the difficulty of feeling and distinguishing each vertebra, especially for new surgeons, since palpation is a skill derived through experience. If palpation proves ineffective, they may be forced to use fluoroscopy. By referencing the fluoroscopy image the surgeon moves a radiopaque marker, such as their surgical tool, closer to the area of interest. Fluoroscopy is time-consuming, and exposes medical personnel and the patient to radiation. Many fluoroscopic images may be required in a single procedure. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and benefits of a new medical device that will aid in radiological localization. The hypothesized outcome would be smaller incisions, faster localization and a reduction in fluoroscopy use. By identifying the efficacy of this new medical device, "Target Tape", there is the potential outcome of making smaller incisions, faster localization, a reduction in fluoroscopy use and a reduced chance in surgical error and the associated costs. Target Tape is a non invasive device that is in a grid format that is placed against the subject's skin. The grid pattern will then appear on the medical imaging scan. The medical practitioner can correlate device grid on the body to the medical scan image to make their incisions in more accurate locations.
NCT00290862
Doctors are studying an investigational treatment to be used during the vertebroplasty procedure when treating vertebral compression fractures (spine fractures) that may help to reduce pain and restore mobility. If one has experienced back pain for at least 4 weeks but not longer than 1 year, he/she may be eligible to participate. The purpose of this protocol is to describe the methods for the clinical evaluation of Cortoss for vertebroplasty in patients with painful osteoporotic compression fractures. Eligible patients with painful osteoporotic compression fractures of the spine are divided into two groups. Each enrolled patient will have the vertebroplasty procedure; however one group of patients will have the vertebroplasty procedure using polymethylmethacrylate \[PMMA\] (a Food and Drug Administration \[FDA\]-approved bone cement) and the other group of patients will have the vertebroplasty procedure using a relatively new (investigational) biomaterial called Cortoss.
