Muscle-tendon Interaction in the Spastic Sural Triceps During Gait
This project aims to study the mechanical behavior of the muscle-tendon unit (MTU) of the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and the Achilles tendon (AT) in post-stroke and spinal cord injured (SCI) patients compared to a healthy population, focusing on the variations in muscle and tendon length during the stance phase of …
Nerve Transfers Plus Electrical Stimulation to Improve Hand Function in Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this prospective observational study is to determine whether brief intraoperative electrical stimulation and temporary postoperative electrical stimulation improve motor and/or pain outcomes for patients with cervical spinal cord injury undergoing standard of care nerve transfer surgery to improve hand function. The main hypotheses include: Hypothesis #1: Brief …
Machine-Learning Based EEG Biomarkers for Personalized Interventions
The goal of this observational study is to develop a machine learning model to predict the outcome of a transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) treatment in patients suffering from neuropathic pain derived from a spinal cord injury. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can electroencephalography (EEG) and …
Natural History Study of Leukoencephalopathy With Brainstem and Spinal Cord Involvement and Lactate Elevation (LBSL)
In this study, we will conduct retrospective chart and imaging reviews and prospective longitudinal virtual assessments of individuals with LBSL.
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 …
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.
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 …
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 …
