Targeted dorsal root entry zone stimulation alleviates pain due to meralgia paresthetica

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Léonie Asboth, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Jimmy James Ravier, Nicolas Hankov, Viviana Aureli

Objective. Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a mononeuropathy of the exclusively sensory lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) that is difficult to treat with conservative treatments. Afferents from the LFCN enter the spinal cord through the dorsal root entry ...

Lumbar and thoracic kinematics during step-up: Comparison of three-dimensional angles between patients with chronic low back pain and asymptomatic individuals

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been repeatedly observed in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), their exact nature is still unknown. Specifically, there is a need for comprehensive assessments of multisegment spinal angles during daily- ...

Chronic low back pain patients walk with locally altered spinal kinematics

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Various studies have reported alterations of spinal kinematics in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) during gait. However, while recent findings stressed the importance of multi-segment analysis, most of prior gait studies modelled the lumbar spine ...

Multi-segment analysis of spinal kinematics during sit-to-stand in patients with chronic low back pain

Julien Favre

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been frequently reported in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), a better characterization of the kinematics during functional activities is needed to improve our understanding and therapeutic solutions fo ...

Nano Fibrillated Cellulose Based Composite Hydrogels for an Injectable Intervertebral Disc Implant

Azadeh Khoushabi

Replacing the gel-like central part of the intervertebral disc (IVD), so-called nucleus pulposus (NP), via a minimally invasive surgery is one of the most recent approaches in the lower back pain treatments. An appropriate biomaterial for NP replacement (N ...

Surgical probe and implant development for nucleus pulposus replacements

Andreas Schmocker

Intervertebral disc degeneration is a major reason why we experience low back pain. Intervertebral discs are located in-between the vertebrae of the spine. They act, among other, as shock absorbers by distributing the mechanical load applied to the spine w ...

Immunoisolated xenogenic chromaffin cell therapy for chronic pain. Initial clinical experience

Patrick Aebischer, Julien Favre

BACKGROUND: Chromaffin cells from the adrenal gland secrete a mixture of compounds that have a strong analgesic effect, especially when administered intrathecally. Many studies in animal models have shown that discordant xenogeneic cell isolates, including ...
