Extending Popliteal block duration with adding clonidine to the levobupivacaine (= standard care)
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of AttraX® Putty as a bone graft substitute for autograft in instrumented posterolateral fusion of the thoracolumbar spine, in terms of efficacy and safety.
To investigate effectiveness of spinal chloroprocaine, and prilocaine in day case surgery. The null hypothesis is that there is no significant intergroup difference in complete recovery from motor blockade.
The purpose of the proposed project is to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of cognitive rehabilitation in a prospective randomized trial on neuropsychological test performance and self-reported cognitive symptoms, psychological symptoms…
Investigate the value of percutaneous radiofrequency heat lesion, applied to the medial branch of the primary dorsal ramus; more specifically try to determine if a significant and long lasting pain reduction can be obtained as compared to a sham-…
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…
The objective of the trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of i.c.v. administration of sNN0029 infusion solution at a dose of 4 µg per day delivered via a Medtronic SynchroMed® II Infusion System.
The primary objective of the trial is to investigate if the optical tissue stylet technology can reliably discriminate intra-vascular (venous) from non-vascular punctures. Diffuse reflectance spectra will be acquired for these two situations, with…
Establishment whether usage of high viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs leads to a reduction in leakage incidence compared to usage of conventional (low-medium) viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs.Since evidence is scarce or…
To show whether Active C disc prosthesis is more effective than anterior discectomy with or without interbody fusion 1 year after surgery. Moreover, the incidence of adjacent disc degeneration will be evaluated 5 years after surgery.
To investigate which technique is the most effective in terms of pain relief on short term in patients with contained cervical disc herniation: PCN or PRF?
Primary objectives of the study are (i) to evaluate short*term safety of HYALOSPINE and (ii) to evaluate efficacy of HYALOSPINE in prevention of adhesions and fibrosis following single* or two*level lumbar laminectomy or laminotomy in patients with…
To determine wether the results of CTR are influenced by postoperative immobilisation of the wrist during nights. Secondly we want to determine wether scar tissue forming is influenced by the technique used to close the wound. (simple vs Donati…
Our primary goal is to compare the effects of a positive pressure mechanical ventilation with spontaneous breathing on systemic cytokine release in patients with normal pulmonary function. Secondly, the possible effects of surgery on the ventilation…
The primary objective of the study is to investigate whether the IDD (Intervertebral Differential Dynamics) protocol with Accu-Spina on the VAS low back pain score at 3 months posttreatment.
We hypothesize that ultrasound visualization of the distal sciatic nerve with subsequent ultrasound guided injection of a reduced amount of local anesthetic will result in shorter performance times, equivalent block quality (sensory and motor onset…
Primary outcome parameter is the amount of intra- and postoperative transfusions required. Secondary outcome parameters include intra- and postoperative blood loss, operation time, and postoperative complications and the outcome of…
To compare functional recovery of the patient and the fusion status of ceramic cages versus PEEK cages on the short and long term.
To evaluate Multiple Independent Current Control (MICC) perception and sub-perception based programming at Dorsal Column (DC) targets and Dorsal Root (DR) targets for focal foot, knee, or groin pain relief.
To assess the impact of CBT on treatment outcome after lumbar spinal fusion surgery in patients with high pain catastrophizing, a two-center randomized controlled trial comparing CBT care to education.
