Spondylocostal dysostosis

This study followed 77 adults who received spinal implants (PASS LP, PASS DEGEN, or PASS TULIP PRIME) to treat degenerative spine conditions like disc degeneration or spinal deformity. The main goal was to see if the bones fused properly after 24 months. Researchers also tracked …

This study tested a mobile app called SurgeryPal that teaches teens coping skills before and after major spine surgery. 433 teens aged 12-18 were randomly assigned to use the app or receive standard education. The goal was to see if the app could reduce pain and prevent pain from…

This pilot study tested whether using ultrasound to guide pharmacopuncture (herbal injections) is safe and effective for neck and back pain. Fifty adults with spinal disorders received the treatment, and researchers tracked side effects, pain levels, disability, and quality of li…

This study gathered information from 193 adults who had surgery or orthopedic treatment for spine problems. Researchers collected clinical, functional, and social data to create a detailed database. The goal was to better understand patient outcomes and standardize how data is co…

This study looked at 120 adults with neck or lower back spine issues to compare two types of scans: contrast-enhanced MRI and FDG-PET/CT. Researchers checked how clear the images were and whether the scans caused any short-term changes in kidney function or blood counts. The goal…

This completed study looked at how the skeleton is aligned with gravity in adults with postural problems. Researchers used a low-dose X-ray device called EOS to create 3D images of the spine and pelvis. The goal was to better understand the body's geometry in people with balance …

This pilot study tested whether a single dose of an oral ketone supplement could increase blood flow and improve brain connectivity in 15 older adults with subjective or mild cognitive decline. Participants had one 2-hour session including MRI scans and cognitive tests. The goal …

This study tested a new lightweight device called PYTHEAS ODYSSEE that helps surgeons place screws in the spine more accurately. Fourteen adults having spine surgery used the device to guide screw placement. The goal was to see if the device reduces screw misplacement and is safe…

This study collected information from over 8,000 people who had spine surgery for conditions like degeneration, deformity, or trauma. Researchers gathered X-ray and health data to learn which treatments work best for different patients. The goal was to build a database to answer …

This study reviewed the records of 978 adults who had spinal fusion surgery to see how often routine follow-up X-rays led to additional tests or changes in treatment. The goal is to find out whether these X-rays are truly helpful or if they can be skipped. The results could help …
