1. 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.

2. A Study to Implement a Patient-Centered Pain Plan and Standardized Preoperative Pain Education for Patients Undergoing Lumbar Procedures

   Mankato, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop a patient-centered pain plan and standardized preoperative pain education for patients undergoing lumbar procedures to increase postoperative pain control and patient satisfaction.

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 Registry for the Research of Primary Tumors of the Spine

   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.

5. Spinal Cord Injury and Dysfunction Registry: Acute Injury Through Life Long Care

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this project is to create and implement a Mayo Clinic spinal cord injury registry that allows team members to collect, sort and analyze patient and program information from acute spinal cord injury through lifelong follow-up.  The data will be used both clinically (for program assessment and federally required reporting) and individual research projects (e.g., patient outcomes).

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. 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 Lofexidine for Rapid Opioid Tapering in Adults

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of lofexidine on opioid tapering in adults undergoing opioid tapering prior to elective lumbar spine surgery. 

9. 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.

10. A Study to Establish an Enterprise Neurosurgery Biobank

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to expand biobanking to neurosurgical disorders where similar protocols do not exist in the institution (e.g., neurovascular disease) and complement existing biobanking protocols where they do exist (e.g., neuro-oncology, skull base tumors, degenerative spine).
