The aim of this study is to compare the effects of anterior cervical discectomy versus percutaneous plasma discectomy on pain, on global perceived effect, functional status and health-related quality of life in a group of patients with cervical…
Documentation of the patients' functional recovery and quantification of fusion after implantation of 3-D trabecular titanium cages on the short and long term. These data will be compared with the recently performed randomized CASCADE trial on…
Investigate the value of percutaneous radiofrequency heat lesion applied to the ramus communicans; more specifically try to determine if a significant and long lasting pain reduction can be obtained as compared to a sham-operated group. In addition…
