The purpose of this study is to examine functional improvement in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) patients with neurogenic claudication who are treated with the MILD procedure plus conventional medical management (CMM) compared to those treated with CMM alone, as the control.

The purpose of this study is to observe changes in bowel pattern based on gum-chewing, examine bowel function after anterior lumbar interbody fusion, measure length of time to return of bowel function after anterior lumbar interbody fusion, compare return of bowel function in patients who chew gum and patients standardized to usual post-operative care, measure the hospital length of stay amongst study groups, and measure post-operative pain amongst study groups.

As CTS is the most commonly diagnosed compression neuropathy of the upper extremity, assessment of severity and treatment response is important crucial to determine the clinical outcomes. Currently, physical examination and overall functional status as well as pre-op electrodiagnostic (EDX) testing are important in determining patient outcome scores and assessing the treatment response. The physical properties of MN and surrounding tissue may be good biomarkers for this evaluation.

SWE is a qualitative and quantitative method for measuring tissue stiffness. There are limited studies on using SWE for diagnosis of CTS , but other aspects of CTS, including the ...

Study Objective: To compare patient outcomes following treatment with either the MILD procedure or epidural steroid injections (ESIs) in patients with painful lumbar spinal stenosis exhibiting neurogenic claudication and having verified ligamentum flavum hypertrophy as a contributing factor.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the investigational treatment compared to the control, and obtain indication expansion for Infuse™ use in one and two level TLIFprocedures.
