SPONDYLOLISTHESIS

This study tested a new spinal implant (Modulus ALIF) in 123 adults with back problems like degenerative disc disease or spinal stenosis. The goal was to see if the device is safe and helps fuse the spine bones together. Researchers checked for complications, bone healing on X-ra…

This study compared two types of spine surgery (XLIF and TLIF) in 55 adults with a slipped vertebra causing leg pain or trouble walking. The goal was to see which procedure led to better function and less pain over two years. Both surgeries aim to stabilize the spine and relieve …

This study tested a special implant (PEEK-OPTIMA™ HA cage) used in spinal fusion surgery for people with degenerative disc disease in the lower back. Twenty-five adults with back pain and spine instability received the implant. The goal was to see how well the bones fused and if …

This study looked at the safety and performance of two types of spine implants (MLX and XLX ACR) in 109 adults with degenerative back problems like disc disease, slipped vertebrae, or scoliosis. The goal was to see how well the implants worked and if they caused any complications…

This study looked at two different 4-week exercise programs for people aged 60-75 with a common spine condition called spondylolisthesis. One group did standard exercises plus physical therapy, while the other did the same exercises plus a special muscle release technique. The go…

This study tested whether a single, short therapy session (called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT) given around the time of back surgery could help prevent long-term pain and reduce the need for painkillers. 45 adults scheduled for back surgery took part. The goal was t…

This study tested whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (ESP block) can reduce pain and the amount of anesthesia and opioids needed during lumbar spine surgery. Fifty adults having elective surgery for a slipped vertebra took part. The goal was to see if adding the block leads…

This study looked at 111 adults having lower back surgery to see which nerve block provides better pain relief: a caudal block or a quadratus lumborum plane (QLB) block. Both are ultrasound-guided injections that numb nerves to reduce pain after surgery. The main goal was to see …

This study tested a mobile health program called SurgeryPal to see if it could help teens recover better after major spine surgery and prevent short-term pain from turning into long-term chronic pain. Over 400 teens aged 12–18 having spinal fusion surgery took part. They used the…

This study tested whether a large, full-scale trial comparing two common back surgeries is feasible. The two surgeries are decompression alone (simpler) and decompression with fusion (more complex). The study enrolled 70 adults with lumbar spinal stenosis and a related condition …
