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 …
Role of Endothelial Function in SCI CVD Risk
Individuals with spinal cord injury have heart attacks and strokes more frequently, and much earlier in life. People with spinal cord injuries develop plaque in vessels much faster, and the reasons why are unclear. Doctors generally attributed the increased risk with weight gain and developing diabetes, but many studies have …
AIM's Writing for Healing: A Workshop for Individuals Living With Paralysis
The UAB Institute for Arts In Medicine (AIM) is currently implementing an expressive emotional writing pilot project for adults with paralysis caused by neurological conditions such as traumatic head or spinal cord injury.
Laminoplasty for Multilevel Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy Guided by Modified K-line and Modified SC-line in MRI
This study intended to investigate the combined Impact of mK-line and mSC-line on the selection of the surgical approach and whether could be used to predict sufficient decompression of cervical spinal cord and clinical outcome in patients after LAMP.
Nerve Transfer to Improve Function in High Level Tetraplegia
The goal of this observational study is to determine if nerve transfer surgeries improve upper extremity function and quality of life in patients with a high level cervical spinal cord injury. Participants will: undergo standard of care pre- and post-op testing and study exams complete pre- and post-questionnaires undergo standard …
