Head-neck Coordination Analysis After Minimally Invasive Surgery in the Dorsal Cervical Spine

NCT01988259 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To proof patients' benefit of minimally invasive surgery in the dorsal cervical spine an apparatus to examine head-neck-coordination was constructed.

Two different surgical techniques will be compared:

Laminoplasty: open approach vs minimally invasive surgery (MIS)-approach; Foraminotomy: open approach vs MIS-approach. Each patient will be tested before surgery, postoperative as well as 3 and 12 month follow-up.

Hypothesis is that patients after MIS-approaches perform better in their head-neck-coordination as patients with open approaches.

Conditions

  • Multilevel Cervical Spinal Stenosis
  • Single Brachial Radiculopathy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bilateral approach for Laminoplasty

Open bilateral approach for laminoplasty in multilevel cervical spinal stenosis

PROCEDURE

Unilateral approach for laminoplasty

Unilateral minimally invasive approach for laminoplasty in multilevel cervical spinal stenosis.

PROCEDURE

Subperiosteal approach for foraminotomy

Unilateral subperiostal approach for single level foraminotomy

PROCEDURE

Transmuscular approach for foraminotomy

Unilateral transmuscular approach for single level foraminotomy
