A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of IDCT (Intradiscal Cell Therapy) in Subjects With One Level, Symptomatic Mild to Moderate Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease

This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blinded, Sham-controlled, multi-center study in subjects with single-level, symptomatic lumbar (L3- S1) intervertebral disc degeneration. The study will have a 52-week primary period followed by 52 week Follow-up Period (total of 104 weeks). The study protocol will be approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC), and the study will be conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP). All subjects will provide written informed consent prior to Screening. Approximately 162 subjects will be enrolled in the study. Up to 45 days prior to treatment, subjects will be screened for study inclusion, which includes obtaining baseline MRI and X-ray imaging. Imaging results for subjects initially eligible for study participation will be sent to a central imaging vendor for review and confirmation of eligibility, including the number of levels with degeneration. Subjects meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be assigned to the corresponding treatment arm group and subsequently randomized to IDCT or Sham. Randomization will occur approximately 7 to 14 days prior to the scheduled treatment administration date. Overall, 162 subjects will be enrolled and randomized to IDCT or Sham in a 2:1 ratio. * IDCT (n=108) * Sham (n=54)

Brain Mechanisms Supporting Cannabis-induced Pain Relief

Chronic low back pain is a common and disabling condition that affects millions of people in the United States. Many people with chronic low back pain do not get enough relief from current treatments. Cannabis may help reduce pain, but researchers do not fully understand how it affects the brain in people with chronic pain. The purpose of this study is to examine how inhaled cannabis changes brain activity and reduces pain in people with chronic low back pain. Results from this study may help researchers better understand how cannabis works for pain and support the development of improved pain treatments.

Carbofix Pedicle Screw System: Evaluation of the Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of the Use of a Carbon Fiber Device Compared to Titanium Devices in Patients Undergoing Spinal Arthrodesis for Degenerative Spinal Diseases

Previous clinical study carried out on cancer patients at IOR Spine Surgery (approved in October 2014). The carbon device is indicated in patients suffering from vertebral tumors who need stabilization and will then carry out radiotherapy, because carbon has a practically zero level of interference with ionizing radiation. Carbon also allows for better visualization of the implants on MRI/CT and X-ray. There are no studies in the literature analyzing the use of carbon fiber devices in lumbar degenerative pathologies. 118 patients suffering from degenerative spinal pathology requiring 1 or 2 levels of lumbar or lumbosacral fusion will be valutated.

Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Nucleus Pulposus Allograft in Participants With Degenerative Disc Disease

VIA Disc NP is a non-surgical intervention intended to supplement nucleus pulposus tissue in degenerated intervertebral discs. This is a randomized, sham-controlled, multi-center, double-blind clinical trial with an open label roll-in period of one participant per site in which participants with lumbar discogenic pain associated with DDD will receive one VIA Disc NP treatment to each affected level (up to 2 levels). Participants enrolled after the roll-in stage will be randomized on a 2:1 basis to receive either a single VIA Disc NP intradiscal injection at 1 or 2 levels or the sham procedure at 1 or 2 levels. At 12 months, participants in the sham arm with continued symptoms may cross-over, receive VIA Disc NP, and will restart the study visit schedule, completing an additional 12 months of follow-up post-cross-over.

Biologic Injection For Adults With Lumbar Disc Herniation

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether adding a bone-marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injection during surgery can improve recovery in adults undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy for a lumbar disc herniation. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the BMAC injection lead to better disc tissue health after surgery (as seen on MRI scans)? * Does the BMAC injection lead to greater improvement in pain and disability compared to surgery alone? Participants will be adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for lumbar microdiscectomy surgery. Researchers will compare one group of participants receiving the standard-of-care surgery plus the BMAC injection with another group receiving the same surgery without the injection to see if the injection offers added benefit. Participants will: * Have surgery (microdiscectomy) with or without the injection. * Complete pain and disability questionnaires at several times over 2 years. * Undergo MRI scans at baseline and follow-up to assess disc structure and tissue health. * Provide samples of leftover disc or bone-marrow tissue (as applicable) from surgery for analysis.

Regional Anesthesia in Minimally Invasive Lumbar Spine Surgery

Opioid overuse is a widespread public health crisis in the United States with increasing rates of addiction and overdose deaths from prescription opioids. Reducing the need for opiate analgesics in the post-operative setting has become a high priority in minimizing long-term opioid use in surgical patients. This study will serve to demonstrate the efficacy of the addition of regional analgesic techniques in reducing post-operative opioid requirements in patients undergoing common lumbar spinal surgical procedures.

Comparison of Artificial Disc Implants in Cervical Disc Arthroplasty

This study will comprehensively evaluate the outcomes and endpoints of these two different FDA-approved artificial disc implants used to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy and/or radiculopathy today: Biomet Zimmer Mobi-C and Nuvasive Simplify. Both implants are structurally different with the Nuvasive Simplify implementing a three-piece design with two endplates and a semi-constrained mobile core while the Biomet Zimmer Mobi-C implements an unconstrained three piece design. Subjects will be age-matched and randomly assigned to either implant with informed consent. All subjects will undergo a variety of assessments that evaluate neck disability, quality of life, pain, physiological outcome (radiographic assessments), and neck range-of motion before and after their procedure. One baseline testing will be conducted along with three post-operation visits (three months, six months, and one year) in accordance to standard follow-up procedure. Thus, the duration of participation in the study will be approximately one and a half years.

Conduit Cages and Fibergraft BG Putty

The Conduit cages are intended to restore the intervertebral height and to facilitate the intervertebral body fusion in the cervical and lumbar spine in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease and instabilities at one or more levels of the spine. The Fibergraft Bioactive Glass (BG) is engineered to mimic the body's natural bone healing process. While previous studies have described the use of conduit cages in interbody fixation procedures, these studies did not specifically study the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients who have received these implants in addition to Fibergraft. We aim to recruit patients with degenerative disc disease, and instabilities at one to multilevel contiguous levels between C2-T1 and 1-2 contiguous levels between L2-S1 of the spine with accompanying radicular symptoms, ruptured or herniated discs, and pseudarthrosis and spondylodesis. We will then follow these patients for a duration of two years to report their clinical and radiographic outcomes to determine fusion, complication rate, and revision surgeries if any.
