Early palliative care has been shown to improve the quality of life and even survival for patients with metastatic cancer. More and more supportive oncology teams in cancer centers now advocate for early integration of radiation therapy (RT) in a patient's palliative management course. While multiple randomized studies have evaluated the efficacy of different RT regimens in the treatment of symptomatic bone lesions, few studies have examined the impact of early, upfront RT for asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic (non- opioid dependent) spine metastases and its efficacy in preventing skeletal-related events (SREs). Since the pathophysiology of spinal metastatic disease is distinct from other bony metastatic disease, the proposed trial seeks to understand whether it is beneficial to patients with minimally symptomatic disease to undergo upfront RT to reduce the risks of SREs and their sequelae, including hospitalizations.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the iovera° system in subjects with upper extremity spasticity. A total of approximately 132 subjects will be enrolled; 88 subjects will receive treatment with the iovera° system and 44 subjects will receive sham treatment (sham iovera° system treatment).
The purpose of this research is to compare two outpatient pain management strategies in patients undergoing spinal surgeries such as microdiscectomies, foraminotomies, and spinal decompressions.
To learn whether giving spinal stereotactic radiosurgery (SRSS) that uses a more advanced imaging scan method called Magnetic Resonance imaging with a Linear Accelerator (MR-LINAC) during treatment will lead to improved responses to treatment and better quality of life. SRSS is radiation therapy given to the area around your spine.
The Pediatric Spine Foundation is a registry designed to assist spine surgeons to efficiently identify and track patients with chest wall and spinal disorders.
This study is a prospective, multi-center, open label registry designed to collect real-world data on performance and safety data on RTI's spine products.
