GD2 CAR T Cells in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas(DIPG) & Spinal Diffuse Midline Glioma(DMG)
The primary purpose of this study is to test whether GD2-CAR T cells can be successfully made from immune cells collected from children and young adults with H3K27M-mutant diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or spinal H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma (DMG). H3K27Mmutant testing will occur as part of standard of care …
Safety and Early Efficacy of iPSC-Derived Motor Neuron Progenitor Cells (XS228) in Subacute Spinal Cord Injury: A Phase I Trial
This Phase I clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability of XS228 ( iPSC-Derived Motor Neuron Progenitor Cells) in patients with Subacute Spinal Cord Injury
Individualised Cryoneurolysis to Treat Pain in the Context of Spasticity in the Upper and Lower Extremities
Spasticity is an umbrella term for impairments of muscle tone and control in people with damage to the brain and spinal cord. It is highly prevalent and results in pain, stiffness, and contribute to difficulties in activities of daily living. Current treatment options are limited, and many people experience only …
BrainGate2: Feasibility Study of an Intracortical Neural Interface System for Persons With Tetraplegia
The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary device safety information and demonstrate proof of principle (feasibility) of the ability of people with tetraplegia to control a computer cursor and other assistive devices with their thoughts.
Analysis of Selected Biochemical Parameters in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Peripheral Blood in the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain Using Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
This project aims to identify key cells and molecules involved in the development and modulation of neuropathic pain treated with spinal cord stimulation (SCS). By measuring concentrations of selected inflammatory mediators and signaling molecules (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, IL-33, BDNF, VEGF, GABA) in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of …
Patient Preference and Long-term Outcomes in Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome: A Prospective Study Comparing Spinal Cord Stimulation to Intrathecal Drug Delivery.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) or intrathecal drug delivery (pain pump) can be effective in providing pain relief for patients with low back pain who have not responded to other treatments. While both treatments, SCS and pain pump, may help with low back pain relief, it is not known which treatment …
Differential Assessment of Hypertonia
Spasticity and rigidity are common symptoms of central nervous system injuries, such as spinal cord injury and Parkinson's disease, and result in distinct patterns of increased resistance during passive joint movements. Spasticity is characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in stretch reflexes, accompanied by exaggerated tendon responses, while rigidity is marked …
Application of Thoracic Epidural SCS for Managing FOG in Patients With Advanced Parkinson's Disease
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has proven to be effective for pain that is unresponsive to medication. This technique involves an anesthesiologist or a neurosurgeon placing stimulation electrodes at the thoracic vertebrae to provide pain relief. Although SCS is not currently a standard treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease, recent studies …
Continuous Passive Motion Versus Heterotopic Ossification
The investigators hypothesize that Heterotopic Ossification (HO) formation can be suppressed if the application of a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) device can be performed for a substantial amount of time. The investigators will use the following study design: a pilot study with 10 ICU patients receiving CPM and 10 matched …
EVOKE ECAP-Controlled Lead Placement and Programming in Chronic Pain Patients
This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of using intra-operative ECAP and Late-Response (LR) recordings for confirmation of activating the neuronal target of the dorsal column in a single-stage SCS lead placement procedure. The collected ECAP and LR data will be analysed post-hoc to further evaluate its utility for …
