MRE Evaluation for Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery: Stiffness and Adhesion Assessment

This clinical trial aims to assess the clinical utility of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), in evaluating the stiffness and adhesion of spinal cord tumors and guiding surgical planning to selecting the most appropriate surgical approach for patients with spinal cord tumors.

NEUROwave - Xtracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) in Acute Traumatic Complete (AIS A) and Incomplete (AIS B-D) Cross-sectional Lesions on Motor and Sensory Function Within Six Months After Injury

This secondary cascade involves vascular changes, an inflammatory response, neurotoxicity, apoptosis and glial scarring, and further compromises neurological impairment after traumatic spinal cord injury. Edema, ischemia and loss of autoregulation continue to spread bi-directionally from the initial lesion along the spinal cord for up to 72 hours after the trauma.

Effects of Baclofen on Presynaptic Inhibition in Humans

This study examines the role of the GABA-B receptor in long-lasting presynaptic inhibition of primary afferents in human participants. Participants will come in for two visits, receiving baclofen (a GABA-B receptor agonist) on one visit and a placebo during the other. Electro-physiological measures will be use during both visit to …

Transcranial Static Magnetic Field Stimulation (tSMS) in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

This study aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of tSMS in ALS patients and to obtain preliminary data about the effects of tSMS on cortical excitability. To this purpose, 40 ALS patients will be recruited and randomized to real or sham tSMS. After 3 months follow-up, they will undergo tSMS, …

Pain and Neurological Function Improvements With 10 kHz Spinal Cord Stimulation Treatment of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN-SENSORY)

The purpose of this post-market study is to evaluate changes in pain and neurological function with high frequency, 10 kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy in patients with chronic, intractable lower limb pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a condition known as painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN).
