SPONDYLOLISTHESIS

This study tested a special spinal implant (the Keos Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device) in 25 adults with degenerative disc disease or related spine conditions. The goal was to see how well the device helped bones fuse and how it affected pain and quality of life. Participants had s…

This study looked at the safety and performance of two types of expandable spine implants (MLX and XLX ACR) in 109 adults with degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or scoliosis. Researchers tracked complications, bone fusion, and improvement in nerve symptoms after surge…

This study looked at how safe and well a new spinal implant (Modulus ALIF System) works in 123 adults having back surgery. The patients had conditions like worn-out discs or slipped vertebrae. The main goals were to check for complications and see if the bones fused properly afte…

This pilot study tested whether a one-day Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) workshop, plus a follow-up phone call, could help prevent chronic pain after back surgery. 45 adults scheduled for spinal surgery took part. The study focused on whether the workshop was acceptable …

This study looked at different rehabilitation programs for 90 adults who had back surgery for degenerative lumbar disease. The goal was to see which rehab approach best reduces nerve pain, helps patients regain function, and improves quality of life. Participants were randomly as…

This study looked at whether adding a nerve block (called ESP block) to general anesthesia helps people undergoing lower back surgery. 50 adults were split into two groups: one got the nerve block plus anesthesia, the other got anesthesia alone. The goal was to see if the nerve b…

This completed study tested two 4-week rehabilitation programs in 58 adults aged 60-75 with mild spondylolisthesis (a slipped vertebra). One group did exercises plus physical therapy; the other did exercises plus myofascial trigger point therapy. Researchers measured pain, disabi…

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 study compared two types of spine surgery (XLIF and TLIF) in 55 adults with a slipped vertebra causing pain and leg symptoms. The goal was to see which procedure led to better function and less pain over two years. Results could help doctors choose the best surgical approach…

This study compared two ultrasound-guided pain blocks—caudal block and quadratus lumborum plane block—in 111 adults undergoing lumbar spine surgery. The goal was to see which provides better pain relief and reduces the need for opioid painkillers. Researchers measured how long it…

This pilot study tested whether a larger trial is possible comparing two standard surgeries for lumbar spinal stenosis with a related condition called spondylolisthesis. The two procedures are decompression alone and decompression with fusion. The study enrolled 70 surgical candi…
