About this study
Official title: Management Of Aggressive Spinal Hemangioma
This research is a case series analysis to evaluate aggressive vertebral hemangiomas. It focuses on clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging accuracy (X-ray, MRI, MSCT, angiography), and treatment efficacy. The primary goal is to establish optimal management protocols.
Read the detailed description
Hybrid methodology integrating retrospective case reviews (from Assiut University Hospital's Orthopedic Surgery Department) with synthesis of existing literature.
Objectives:
Characterize clinical presentations and imaging findings. Compare diagnostic accuracy across modalities. Analyze treatment outcomes, including procedural success rates and complications.
Tools:
Imaging: X-ray for initial screening, MRI/MSCT for soft tissue and spinal cord involvement, angiography for vascular mapping.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Patients with symptomatic, radiologically confirmed aggressive spinal hemangiomas treated at Assiut | Confirmed diagnosis of aggressive vertebral hemangioma via imaging (MRI/MSCT) and clinical symptoms (e.g., pain, neurological deficits). |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Neurological Symptom Resolution
using the Pain intensity (VAS scale)
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Functional Status Improvement
using ASIA Impairment Scale (primary)
Threshold: ≥1-grade improvement on ASIA scale sustained for ≥3 months
Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Aggressive Spinal Hemangiomas, run by Assiut University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Neurological Symptom Resolution (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
