Randomized Controlled Trial
A prospective randomised controlled trial to assess the efficacy of dynamic stabilisation of the lumbar spine with the Wallis ligament.
This prospective randomised control study is to demonstrate whether or not there is a clinical benefit from inserting a Wallis implant on the functional recovery of patients who have undergone lumbar decompression surgery. ⋯ The Wallis implant is a safe medical device. This study revealed a reduction in pain and functional disability in patients treated with decompression surgery for lumbar stenosis, with or without Wallis. The Wallis group improved more, but it was not statistically significant. The risk of complications is lower than other interspinous devices.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparing the process of creeping substitution between allograft bone and local bone grafting in lumbar interbody fusion.
A self-control study was designed to compare the process of creeping substitution between allograft bone and local bone grafting in lumbar interbody fusion. ⋯ The results of our study showed a superiority of local bone grafting over allograft bone.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme improves disability, kinesiophobia and walking ability in subjects with chronic low back pain: results of a randomised controlled pilot study.
To evaluate the effect of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme on disability, kinesiophobia, catastrophizing, pain, quality of life and gait disturbances in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). ⋯ The multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme including cognitive-behavioural therapy was superior to the exercise programme in reducing disability, kinesiophobia, catastrophizing, and enhancing the quality of life and gait cadence of patients with CLBP.
