1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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).

5. 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.

6. A Study to Evaluate Autologous Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Treat Spinal Cord Injury Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the present study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of a single intrathecal injection of autologous, culture expanded AD-MSCs specifically in subjects with severe traumatic SCI when compared to patients undergoing physical therapy.

7. Metastatic Tumor Research and Outcomes Network

   Rochester, Minn.

   The registry aims to collect patient information such as patient demographics, co-morbidities, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic data, as well as information on adverse events and HRQOL outcomes specific for patients with metastatic spine tumor(s).

8. A Study to Establish a Pediatric Spine Registry

   Rochester, Minn., Minneapolis, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect data about patients with chest wall and spinal deformities to develop a multicenter registry.  This will speed the pace of medical advancement and treatment recommendations for these conditions. 

9. Investigation of Neurocognitive Measures of Sport-Related Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The overall objective is to provide an onsite diagnosis with subsequent return to play criteria, as well as, lower the risk of traumatic brain injury by primary prevention through cervical spine neuromuscular control and vision training. The central hypothesis is that improved understanding of neurocognitive measures and function will provide improved diagnosis of concussion and help reduce the incidence of subsequent sports-related injury.

10. Mayo Clinic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation Research Registry

    Rochester, Minn.

    This will be a prospective registry conducted and maintained at Mayo Clinic Rochester from which collaborating sites within Mayo, Mayo Health Systems, and other spinal cord injury centers can draw from in order to fulfill research enrollment. The information collected for this registry will be used for recruitment purposes only, and will not be used as research data. Participants who are recruited to participate in other research studies will need to complete a separate consenting/enrollment process specific to that study.
