An analysis from the Quality Outcomes Database, Part 1. Disability, quality of life, and pain outcomes following lumbar spine surgery: predicting likely individual patient outcomes for shared decision-making.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2017-10)OBJECTIVE Quality and outcomes registry platforms lie at the center of many emerging evidence-driven reform models. Specifically, clinical registry data are progressively informing health care decision-making. In this analysis, ... -
An analysis from the Quality Outcomes Database, Part 2. Predictive model for return to work after elective surgery for lumbar degenerative disease.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2017-10)OBJECTIVE Current costs associated with spine care are unsustainable. Productivity loss and time away from work for patients who were once gainfully employed contributes greatly to the financial burden experienced by individuals ... -
An evaluation of remifentanil-sevoflurane response surface models in patients emerging from anesthesia: model improvement using effect-site sevoflurane concentrations.
(Anesth Analg, 2010-08)INTRODUCTION: We previously reported models that characterized the synergistic interaction between remifentanil and sevoflurane in blunting responses to verbal and painful stimuli. This preliminary study evaluated the ability ... -
Auriculotherapy for pain management: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
(J Altern Complement Med, 2010-10)OBJECTIVES: Side-effects of standard pain medications can limit their use. Therefore, nonpharmacologic pain relief techniques such as auriculotherapy may play an important role in pain management. Our aim was to conduct ... -
Colchicine effectiveness in symptom and inflammation modification in knee osteoarthritis (COLKOA): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
(Trials, 2015-04-30)BACKGROUND: Despite the high prevalence and global impact of knee osteoarthritis (KOA), current treatments are palliative. No disease modifying anti-osteoarthritic drug (DMOAD) has been approved. We recently demonstrated ... -
Comprehensive study of back and leg pain improvements after adult spinal deformity surgery: analysis of 421 patients with 2-year follow-up and of the impact of the surgery on treatment satisfaction.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2015-05)OBJECT Back and leg pain are the primary outcomes of adult spinal deformity (ASD) and predict patients' seeking of surgical management. The authors sought to characterize changes in back and leg pain after operative ... -
Defining the minimum clinically important difference for grade I degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis: insights from the Quality Outcomes Database.
(Neurosurgical focus, 2018-01)OBJECTIVE Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) play a pivotal role in defining the value of surgical interventions for spinal disease. The concept of minimum clinically important difference (MCID) is considered the new standard ... -
Description of Common Clinical Presentations and Associated Short-Term Physical Therapy Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Neck Pain.
(Arch Phys Med Rehabil, 2015-10)OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of clinical presentations of neck pain on short-term physical therapy outcomes. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of pair-matched groups from a clinical cohort. SETTING: Thirteen outpatient ... -
Differential expression of systemic inflammatory mediators in amputees with chronic residual limb pain.
(Pain, 2017-01)Chronic postsurgical pain impacts most amputees, with more than half experiencing neuralgic residual limb pain. The transition from normal acute postamputation pain to chronic residual limb pain likely involves both peripheral ... -
Differential mechanisms of morphine antinociceptive tolerance revealed in (beta)arrestin-2 knock-out mice.
(J Neurosci, 2002-12-01)Morphine induces antinociception by activating mu opioid receptors (muORs) in spinal and supraspinal regions of the CNS. (Beta)arrestin-2 (beta)arr2), a G-protein-coupled receptor-regulating protein, regulates the muOR in ... -
Effect of Restorative Neurostimulation on Major Drivers of Chronic Low Back Pain Economic Impact.
(Neurosurgery, 2023-02)<h4>Background</h4>High-impact chronic low back pain (CLBP) correlates with high healthcare resource utilization. Therapies that can alter impact status may provide beneficial long-term economic benefits. An implantable ... -
Effectiveness of spinal fusion versus structured rehabilitation in chronic low back pain patients with and without isthmic spondylolisthesis: a systematic review.
(Spine, 2011-10)<h4>Study design</h4>Systematic review.<h4>Objective</h4>To determine if the presence of isthmic spondylolisthesis modifies the effect of treatment (fusion vs. multidimensional supervised rehabilitation) in patients with ... -
Effects of nociceptin (13-17) in pain modulation at supraspinal level in mice.
(Neurosci Lett, 2002-10-11)This work was designed to observe the effects of nociceptin(13-17), one of the main metabolites of nociceptin (also termed orphanin FQ), in pain modulation at supraspinal level in mice. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) ... -
Energy recovery in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
(Osteoarthritis Cartilage, 2014-06)OBJECTIVE: Pathological gaits have been shown to limit transfer between potential (PE) and kinetic (KE) energy during walking, which can increase locomotor costs. The purpose of this study was to examine whether energy exchange ... -
Establishing cutoff scores on assessments of surgical skills to determine surgical competence.
(Am J Obstet Gynecol, 2010-07)OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to establish minimum cutoff scores on intraoperative assessments of surgical skills to determine surgical competence for vaginal hysterectomy. STUDY DESIGN: Two surgical rating scales, ... -
Exercise-induced pain intensity predicted by pre-exercise fear of pain and pain sensitivity.
(Clin J Pain, 2011-06)OBJECTIVES: Our primary goals were to determine whether preexisting fear of pain and pain sensitivity contributed to post-exercise pain intensity. METHODS: Delayed-onset muscle pain was induced in the trunk extensors of ... -
Impact of predominant symptom location among patients undergoing cervical spine surgery on 12-month outcomes: an analysis from the Quality Outcomes Database.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2021-07)<h4>Objective</h4>The impact of the type of pain presentation on outcomes of spine surgery remains elusive. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of predominant symptom location (predominant arm pain vs predominant ... -
Implementation of a group physical therapy program for Veterans with knee osteoarthritis.
(BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2020-02)BACKGROUND:A previous randomized clinical trial found that a Group Physical Therapy (PT) program for knee osteoarthritis yielded similar improvements in pain and function compared with traditional individual PT. Based on ... -
Incidence, patient satisfaction, and perceptions of post-surgical pain: results from a US national survey.
(Curr Med Res Opin, 2014-01)OBJECTIVE: During the past two decades, professional associations, accrediting bodies, and payors have made post-surgical pain treatment a high priority. In light of the disappointing findings in previous surveys, a survey ... -
