When Policy Topic is covered Either invasive or noninvasive methods of electrical bone growth stimulation may be considered medically necessary as an adjunct to lumbar spinal fusion surgery in patients at high risk for fusion failure, defined as any one of the following criteria: one or more previous failed spinal fusion(s); grade III or worse spondylolisthesis; fusion to be performed at ...
متن کاملA New Nonlinear Autoregressive Exogenous (NARX)-Based Intra-Spinal Stimulation Approach to Decode Brain Electrical Activity for Restoration of Leg Movement in Spinally-Injured Rabbits
This study aims at investigation of stimulation by using intra-spinal signals decoded from electrocorticography (ECoG) assessments to restore the movements of the leg in an animal model of spinal cord injury (SCI). The present work comprised of three steps. First, ECoG signals and the associated leg joint changes (hip, knee, and ankle) in sedated healthy rabbits were recorded in different trial...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation as an adjunct to spinal fusion: a meta-analysis of controlled clinical trials.
This study was a meta-analysis to examine whether electrical stimulation has a specific effect on spinal fusion. Little evidence exists on the efficacy of electrical stimulation for improving fusion rate of spinal fusion surgery. Using MEDLINE (1966-2000) and EMBASE (1985-1999), a search for articles was carried out using the Medical Subject Headings: (1) electric stimulation or electromagnetic...
متن کاملDirect Current and Capacitive Coupling Electrical Stimulation Upregulates Osteopromotive Factors for Spinal Fusions
INTRODUCTION Poor fusion rates in spine surgery continue to pose a challenge to spine surgeons. Nonunions are more common in patients with previously failed fusions, multiple-level fusions, and smoking. Consequently, treatment modalities such as electrical stimulation and spinal instrumentation systems have been designed for use as adjuncts to spinal fusion surgeries to increase fusion success ...
