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. 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. 

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 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.

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. 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.

7. 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).

8. 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.

9. A Study of Stability and Physical Activity among Patients with Spinal Deformity Before and After Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine pre-surgical and post-surgical changes in gait stability and free-living activity. The information collected in this study will be used to guide surgical interventions and achieve better functional outcomes.

10. Study to Evaluate the Utility, Safety, Effectiveness, and Cost of Physical Therapy on Elective Spine Surgery Patients

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility, safety, effectiveness, and cost of physical therapy on elective spine surgery patients.
