Prospective Analysis of Spinal Epidural Abscess
This is a prospective study involving all patients treated at the University of Kentucky for spinal epidural abscess over a 2-year period. Based on ongoing referrals of patients with SEA, we expect that 200 patients will be enrolled during this time window. We propose to study all available clinical, pathological, …
Swiss Spinal Tumor Registry (Swiss-STR)
The Swiss Spinal Tumor Registry is a prospective REDCap-based registry, collecting data of surgically treated patients with primary and metastatic tumors of the spine.
Long Term Trajectories of SMA Patients Receiving or Not Disease-modifying Treatments
This is an observational multicenter retrospective and prospective study on natural history of SMA also considering the 'new natural history' secondary to the availability of commercially available therapies. All the patients enrolled to date in the Italian registry, if not part of clinical trials, will be included in the present …
MAP THE SMA: a Machine-learning Based Algorithm to Predict THErapeutic Response in Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is caused by the homozygous loss of the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) 1 gene, which leads to degeneration of spinal alpha-motor neurons and muscle atrophy. Three treatments have been approved for SMA but the available data show interpatient variability in therapy response and, to date, individual …
Characterizing Perceived Physical Fatigability in Nusinersen-treated SMA
The purpose of this project is to investigate the utility of the SMA EFFORT, an SMA-specific patient-reported outcome measure, to assess perceived physical fatigability that is anchored to intensity and duration of activities. We aim to characterize perceived physical fatigability (PPF) in a diverse cohort of people with SMA (pwSMA) …
Evaluate the Diagnostic Journey, Patient Experience, and Disparities in the Treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in the MedStar Health System
Evaluate the diagnostic journey, patient experience, and disparities in the treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in the MedStar Health System.
A Review of the Management and Outcomes of Children With SMA in the West Midlands During 2017-2022
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a rare neuromuscular condition, characterised by loss of motor neurons as a result of a mutation in the survival motor neuron gene. This results in muscle wasting and in the most common and severe type, death before 24 months. Over the recent years there has …
Exploring the Physiologic, Pharmacodynamic, and Clinical Responses of Skeletal Muscle in Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treated With SMN-Directed Therapies
In this observational study, researchers are looking at the effects of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) drugs on the muscles and nerve cells in patients with SMA. Primary Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and reliability of performing MR functional imaging in exercising muscle in patients with SMA. To evaluate patients with …
En Bloc Resection Versus Separation Surgery Combined With Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Spinal Oligometastatic Tumor.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of En bloc surgery and separation surgery combined with radiation therapy on the prognosis and survival of patients with spinal oligometastatic cancer, describe the clinical results, and optimize future treatment goals
Contribution of Diaphragmatic Ultrasound for Monitoring Diaphragmatic Function in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neuromuscular disease that occurs in adults. It is characterized by a progressive degeneration of the first and second motor neurons leading to muscle failure. In its spinal form, ALS manifests by a progressive worsening of limb involvement, whereas the bulbar form presents with …
