Investigation of the Effects of a Neuromuscular Control-Focused Posture Training Program in Butchers
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a neuromuscular posture training program implemented in butchers on neck pain, posture quality and upper back muscle control.
Safety and Efficacy of Oral Cannabis in Chronic Spine Pain
The overall objectives of this study are to investigate the efficacy of extended cannabis treatment to reduce patient exposure to prescription opioids through its use 1) as a non-opioid analgesic treatment, and 2) as a therapy for reducing high-dose opioid use in patients with chronic spine pain.
Effects of Schroth-Based Exercise on Kyphosis Angle, Muscle Strength, Balance, Pain, and Quality of Life in Hyperkyphosis With Chronic Neck Pain
The normal thoracic kyphosis angle of the spine is 20-40°, however, an angle of more than 40° is referred to as postural kyphosis, increased kyphosis or hyperkyphosis. Although postural kyphosis negatively affects individuals' general health status, physical performance, and quality of life, there is still no standardized protocol for correcting …
Predictors of Response to Manual Physiotherapy Using Somatosensory Profiles in Patients With Cervicobrachial Pain
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate about the characteristics that predict response to physiotherapy treatment in patients with nerve related neck arm pain. The main question to answer is whether there is a subgroup that responds better to physiotherapy treatment. Participants will be assessed for clinical and …
CEM-Plate and CEM-Cage First-In-Human Use Efficacy Study
The study is a prospective, first-in-human, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study to assess the safety and efficacy of the CEM-Cage used with the CEM-Plate in patients who are appropriate candidates for a 2-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Fifty patients will be enrolled in the study and, after undergoing a …
How Dry Needling at the Neck Affects Shoulder Movement, Strength, Pain, and Shoulder Circulation
Segmental facilitation, originally proposed by Korr in the 1950s, suggests that certain spinal segments can become hyperexcitable, leading to chronic pain development. In a facilitated segment, neurons governing sensory, motor, and autonomic functions are in a state of heightened sensitivity, making them responsive to normally weak stimuli. Clinical signs include …
Moderators and Mediators (M & M Trial) of Psychosocial Treatments of Chronic Pain
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CP) is a major public health concern. Psychosocial treatments have been shown to be efficacious when compared to largely inert control conditions, but they are characterized by modest effects on primary outcomes. One strategy to boost efficacy is to increase our understanding of treatment mediators. Studies of …
CARES-Spine (Comprehensive Analgesic, Recovery, and Education Support for Spine Surgery) Trial
Three-arm randomized controlled trial, of Motivational Interviewing and guided Opioid Tapering support (MI-Opioid Taper) and tizanidine vs. MI-Opioid Taper and placebo vs. enhanced usual care to promote postoperative opioid cessation and pain cessation and reduce the incidence of postoperative opioid misuse among patients undergoing spine surgery.
Trigger Point Injections in Anterior Cervical Surgery
To achieve appropriate exposure for an anterior neck surgery (for example an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion or ACDF), patients are positioned supine with their neck extended. Due to being in this position, patients frequently complain of posterior neck stiffness and pain postoperatively in addition to the anterior incisional pain. …
Which Model of Care is the Most Cost-effective in the Treatment of Musculoskeletal Disorders?
As musculoskeletal disorders (MSKDs) reach epidemic proportions in Canada, access to the public health system for those who suffer from them is increasingly difficult. One of the main barriers is the delays to see a publicly funded health professional. New models of care must therefore be developed to ensure better …
