Fusion or no Fusion After Decompression of the Spinal Cord in Patients With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy
Background Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is characterized by neck pain, neck stiffness, weakness, paresthesia, sphincter disturbance and balance disorder. The mean age for symptoms is 64 years and more men than women, 2.7:1, are affected. The most common level is C5-C6. DCM is the predominant cause of spinal cord dysfunction …
Differential Target Multiplexed Spinal Cord Stimulation
Evaluation of the effectiveness of differential target multiplexed spinal cord stimulation for treatment of chronic back and leg pain. Additionally, a subgroup analysis will be performed to evaluate potential differences between paddle/surgical leads versus percutaneous leads.
Improving Balance After Spinal Cord Injury Using a Robotic Upright Stand Trainer and Spinal Cord Epidural Stimulation
The purpose of this study is to understand how standing and sitting balance control is altered after spinal cord injury and how a new type of robotic assistive device may be used with spinal stimulation to improve muscle function. The investigators will be testing a device called the Tethered Pelvic …
Spinal Cord Associative Plasticity in Cerebral Palsy
Associative plasticity has been used to promote functional recovery from conditions affecting movement. The long term goal of this project is to use electrical stimulation techniques to improve arm and hand function. The goal of this prospective experimental study in adults with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (hCP) is to test the …
Evaluation of Medication Tapering on the Sensitivity of the Spinal Cord Using Closed-Loop Spinal Cord Stimulation (Pilot Study)
This pilot study investigates the effects of reducing pain medication including opioids and anticonvulsants, on spinal cord sensitivity during closed-loop spinal cord stimulation (SCS). Patients with Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type 2 (FBSS/FNSS) will undergo a standard 21-day SCS trial with the Evoke closed-loop system, followed by permanent implantation if …
Gut-Brain Neural Coupling in Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of food on brain and stomach activity in persons with and without spinal cord injury (SCI).
Treating Spinal Cord Injury With Early Normobaric Hyperoxia
SpiCoH is a phase IIa, single center, open-label, clinical trial of intermittent normobaric hyperoxia in mechanically ventilated patients with traumatic cervical and/or thoracic spinal cord injury.
Placebo Effect In Spinal Cord Electrical Stimulation for Pain
Objective: To evaluate if spinal cord stimulation (SCS) performs better than placebo (no stimulation) in the long term to reduce persistent neuropathic leg pain refractory to medication and other conservative treatments in patients who have undergone lumbar spinal surgery. Study design: Multicenter, double blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial. After a positive …
Food Intake and Thermogenesis in High Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of food on cardiovascular and metabolic health in men with and without spinal cord injury (SCI).
DELAYED VERSUS EARLY SURGICAL DECOMPRESSION FOR TRAUMATIC SPINAL CORD INJURY
To compare the outcome of early versus delayed surgical decompression among patients presenting with traumatic spinal cord injury in a tertiary care hospital.
