Detection of Spinal Cord Lesions Using the MP2RAGE Sequence in Inflammatory Diseases of the Neuraxis
Since the last revision of the MRI guidelines in multiple sclerosis (MS, MAGNIMS) and the McDonald criteria in 2017, all spinal cord lesions must be counted to increase the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of MS. Focal lesions of the spinal cord are more frequently located in the cervical …
Brain Imaging Biomarkers for Response to Spinal Cord Stimulation in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain
In this protocol, "Brain imaging biomarkers for response to Spinal Cord Stimulation in patients with chronic low back pain," the investigators plan to perform brain mapping studies in 42 patients who are undergoing spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for chronic low back pain (CLBP) as part of the participants normal clinical …
Validation of Pre-clinical Nano-Based Analgesics in Cells From Human Dorsal Root Ganglia
This study investigates the pre-clinical nano-based analgesics in cells from human dorsal root ganglia (clusters of neurons). Collecting these neurons may help future research related to safe and effective pain treatment.
A Registry-Based Cohort Study on the Clinical Outcomes of Spinal Cord Glioma Resection Via the Dorsolateral Sulcus Approach
Spinal cord gliomas are the most common type of primary intramedullary malignant tumors, with a low incidence and a peak onset age of approximately 35 years. They are slightly more prevalent in males than females. Clinical manifestations vary depending on tumor characteristics and location, typically presenting with axial pain and …
Assessing Effect of Spinal Cord Stimulation on Pain and Quality of Life With Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
This study examines how spinal cord stimulation (SCS) affects pain level and quality of life in patients experiencing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN is a nerve problem and one of the potential side effects of chemotherapy that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the …
The Safe-line Technique as Additional Attempt to Mitigate Spinal Cord Ischemia After Endovascular Exclusion of TAAA
To assess safety and feasebility of the "safe-line" technique in a multicenter international collaboration.
Studying Rehabilitation Treatments Using Video to Improve Recovery for Adults With Physical Disabilities
This study aims to better understand how occupational therapists provide rehabilitation for adults recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury (SCI), with a focus on improving arm and hand function. Using video recordings of real outpatient therapy sessions, researchers will identify the key elements of treatment, such as the types …
Brain Connectivity Changes With Spinal Cord Stimulation and Treatment of Chronic Pain: A Resting State NIRS/EEG Study
This study aims to assess how use of spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of chronic pain impacts brain structure and function. The investigators will use a non-invasive neuroimaging technique called resting state Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Electroencephalography (rs-fNIRS/EEG). The investigators will enroll Veterans who are currently receiving care at …
Efficacy of Sacral Nerve Modulation on Urinary and Defecation Dysfunction After Spinal Cord Injury：A Prospective, Single-arm Study
The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term efficacy of sacral nerve modulation surgery in the treatment of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction caused by incomplete spinal cord injury, as well as its preventive effect on complications of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. We will use urodynamic examination …
The Efficacy of High-frequency Short-time Spinal Cord Stimulation in the Treatment of Herpes Zoster-associated Neuralgia
Zoster-associated neuralgia (ZAN) is a type of neuropathic pain caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The global annual incidence is approximately 3-5 per 1,000 individuals, and in China, the incidence is around 4.89 per 1,000 individuals, increasing with age. The underlying mechanisms of ZAN involve neuroinflammation, peripheral …
