This may avoid the need for a large incision, and minimizing bleeding and trauma to the body.]]> http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/back-pain/superion-interspinous-spacer-lumbar-spinal Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:59:08 -0500 <![CDATA[Facet Replacement System to Treat Spinal Stenosis]]> 12640 The purpose of this study is to determine if the ACADIA™ Facet Replacement System is effective in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the overall success rate of the ACADIA™ Facet Replacement System in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis when compared to a posterior spinal fusion control.]]> http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/back-pain/facet-replacement-system-treat-spinal-stenosis Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:10:10 -0500 <![CDATA[IDE Clinical Trial Comparing coflex® vs. Fusion to Treat Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (coflex)]]> 11989 http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/back-pain/ide-clinical-trial-comparing-coflex-vs-fusion Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:36:38 -0500 <![CDATA[Gene Mapping of Inherited Spinal Disorders (Scoliosis and Degenerative Disc Disease)]]> 11962 http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/degenerative-disc-disease/gene-mapping-inherited-spinal-disorders-scoliosis Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:04:55 -0500 <![CDATA[DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System Clinical Trial]]> 11958 The purpose of this randomized study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System in the treatment of moderate single-level lumbar degenerative disc disease. Patients enrolled in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either the investigational DIAM™ Device or non-surgical treatment that involves medication, physical therapy, patient education and spinal injections. Patients enrolled in the study must be evaluated by their surgeon at regular intervals.]]> http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/back-pain/diam-spinal-stabilization-system-clinical-trial Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:49:11 -0500 <![CDATA[Freedom® Lumbar Disc in the Treatment of Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease]]> 11956 This study will look at the result of using the Freedom® Lumbar Disc (FLD) device as an artificial lumbar disc. Clinical trial participants with degenerative disc disease will be randomized to disc arthroplasty with the FLD device or a control device. The overall objective of this trial is to collect clinical data to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of FLD used for the treatment of symptomatic lumbar degenerative disc disease compared to the control device.]]> http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/back-pain/freedom-lumbar-disc-treatment-lumbar-degenerative Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:39:41 -0500 <![CDATA[Clinically Important Changes in Rheumatoid Arthritis]]> 33468 http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/back-pain/clinically-important-changes-rheumatoid-arthritis Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:45:24 -0500 <![CDATA[Genetic Determinants of Ankylosing Spondylitis Severity - Longitudinal Study]]> 11924 http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/back-pain/genetic-determinants-ankylosing-spondylitis Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:14:03 -0500 <![CDATA[Progression of Spinal Fusion in Ankylosing Spondylitis]]> 11926 http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/back-pain/progression-spinal-fusion-ankylosing-spondylitis Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:02:52 -0500 <![CDATA[Cliavist in Infectious and Degenerative Diseases of the Spine]]> 11935 http://www.spineuniverse.com/clinical-trials/back-pain/cliavist-infectious-degenerative-diseases-spine Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:46:30 -0500
