This single-site, single-arm study evaluates the feasibility, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of trans-arterial embolization (TAE) using Embozene microparticles for treating facetogenic pain due to facet arthropathy (osteoarthritis of the facet joints) in the lumbar spine.
The primary purpose of this pilot study is to investigate a novel approach to the treatment of cognitive symptoms that persist despite prior antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease (Post treatment Lyme Disease or PTLD). Aim 1: The primary aim of this study is to assess whether the processing speed of individuals with PTLD can be enhanced by combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with computer based cognitive training games. To achieve this aim, over a 4-week period, all individuals with PTLD will participate in at home adaptive cognitive training combined with either active stimulation or sham stimulation. Aim 2: To determine if treatment benefit in processing...
15 patients with gout [10 patients no recent urate-lowering therapy (ULT) and 5 patients on stable urate-lowering therapy (ULT)] will be invited to participate in a standardized meal at the UCLA Human Nutrition Center and a 7-day community follow-up for the measurement of uric acid (and other metabolites) using our Uric Acid and Metabolite Monitor System (UR+AIMS) skin patch.
The study aims to assess the implementation and effectiveness of Integrative Treatments - Music Medicine, Aromatherapy, and Battlefield Acupuncture - in the management of perioperative pain and anxiety, and in the reduction of related pharmacologic treatments.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of waterproof padding in short leg walking casts will lead to an increase in cast-related complications, as compared to the standard non-waterproof casting in children.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is defined as a three-dimensional lateral deformity of the spine. It is described with a cobb angle of greater than 10 degrees. There is no known etiology of AIS. Once the degrees of curvature become severe (greater than 45 degrees), surgical intervention (posterior spinal fusion - PSF) is often discussed. Most adolescent patients and their families opt for surgical correction to decrease future complications of severe scoliosis, such as decreased vital capacity of the lungs, potential future activity restrictions, cosmetic appearance, and self-esteem. While the patient and family are eager to undergo PSF, they do have concerns. The major...
This clinical trial will use the amyloid-binding radiotracer, 124I-evuzamitide, to potentially detect amyloid, in the heart and elsewhere, in patients who have a history of lumbar spinal stenosis and/or carpal tunnel syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of SeaSpine Shoreline device in surgery of the cervical spine.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the long-term outcomes of surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis of all curve patterns treated by either anterior or posterior procedures. In addition, to analyze the long-term outcomes of non-operative idiopathic scoliosis.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of three different interbody implant types when used with cancellous allograft chips with BMA or cellular allograft in patients undergoing XLIF surgery. The study will evaluate success by comparing the rate of fusion, complications profile, and any relationships between clinical outcomes (pain and function) and radiographic outcomes (fusion rate) between the three implant groups.
