1. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Adherus™ AutoSpray and Adherus™ AutoSpray ET Dural Sealant

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Adherus Dural Sealant when used in conjunction with standard methods of dural repair in spinal procedures. This trial uses the commercially available DuraSeal Exact (P080013b) as an active control. The trial is designed to demonstrate non-inferiority of Adherus Dural Sealant to DuraSeal Exact.
   Subjects who have consented to participate in this study prior to undergoing spinal surgery and experience a durotomy, will be considered for study enrollment.
    

2. Use of Tamsulosin to Reduce the Incidence and Duration of Postoperative Urinary Retention Following Spine Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   Postoperative urinary retention is a frequent complication of spinal surgeries and impacts a large portion of this population which results in increased morbidity as a result of increased number of catheterizations, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and prolonged hospital stays. With the addition of Tamsulosin, the investigators would anticipate a reduction in the incidence and duration of postoperative urinary retention and therefore a reduction in morbidity related to treatment of urinary retention as well as shortened hospital stays.

3. A Study to Create a Registry of Non-Fusion Spinal Deformity Correction in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

   Rochester, Minn., Minneapolis, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of non-fusion surgical treatment of Spinal Deformity Correction in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

   The Post Approval Study (PAS) is gathering data on the Tether device and it's efficacy and safety.

4. A Study to Evaluate Performance Outcomes Following Interventional Treatment of Axial Low Back Pain

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if intra-articular lumbar facet and sacroiliac joint injections, or lumbar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are effective in improving 1) patient-reported measures of pain, function and quality of life; 2) capacity; and 3) performance as measured by change in activity counts.  Secondarily, the value of measuring capacity and performance following diagnostic medial branch blocks as a predictor of successful outcomes after lumbar RFA will be explored. 

5. Primary Tumor Research and Outcome Network (PTRON) Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this registry is to collect clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic data specific for primary spinal column tumor patients, and evaluate it to understand the predictive factors which influence survival, local recurrence, adverse events, perioperative morbidity, and health related quality of life.

6. A Study to Evaluate Awake vs. Asleep Spine Surgery

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   Patients undergoing spine lumbar surgery will be asked to perform short exams/questionnaires aimed at determining cognitive function, quality of life, health outcomes twice post surgery with a baseline performance prior to surgery.

7. Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)

   Rochester, Minn.

   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.

8. Human Blood and Tissues Repository for Neuroscience Research

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to collect adult human blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain, and spine tissues/fluids at time of surgery in order to conduct future studies of the cellular mechanisms of tissue invasion utilized by brain and spine tumors of the central nervous system (CNS).

9. A Study to Evaluate Anterior Vertebral Body Tethering (AVBT) Zimmer Biomet Tether System or Dynesys System to Treat Pediatric Scoliosis

   Rochester, Minn., Minneapolis, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis.

   The Researchers want to assess the short-term safety of Anterior Vertebral Body Tethering (AVBT) in skeletally immature subjects with moderate to severe scoliosis.

10. A Study of the Effect of Treatment on Activity and Muscle Function in Pediatric Patients with Scoliosis

    Rochester, Minn.

    This study will explore the relationship between skeletal muscle and physical activity in scoliosis patients to provide insight into both the etiology of scoliosis and possible ways to mitigate the potential harm of treatment.
