Discogenic Pain

The purpose of this study is to assesse safety and efficacy of the Intradiscal Gelified Ethanol for treatment in refractory cervical discogenic pain.

The goal of this observational study is to define a personalized risk model in the super healthy and homogeneous population of Italian Air Force high-performance pilots. This peculiar cohort conducts dynamic activities in an extreme environment, compared to a population of military people not involved in flight activity. The study integrates the analyses of biological samples (urine, blood, and saliva), clinical records, and occupational data collected at different time points and analyzed by omic-based approaches supported by Artificial Intelligence. Data resulting from the study will clarify many etiopathological mechanisms of diseases, allowing the creation of a model of analyses that can be extended to the civilian population and patient cohorts for the potentiation of precision and preventive medicine.
