What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ODI (2y) - ODI(preop)

    Difference between Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at 2 years and preoperative ODI

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Fusion/arthrodesis status, and further radiological documentation of operated and adjacent levels

    Angle difference in flexion and extension radiographs at each timepoint; analysis of AP and ML x-rays regarding changes in bone density (identification of bone bridges): CT/MRT are considered when available; consideration of pot. radiolucencies around the

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Overall success

    ODI at each timepoint

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Overall success

    • Improvement of at least 15 points in the Oswestry Disability Index score compared to the baseline score;
    • No device failures requiring revision, reoperation, or removal;
    • Absence of major complications, defined as major vessel injury or major neurological deterioration (e.g., nerve root injury);
    • Maintenance or improvement in neurological status vs. baseline, with no permanent neurological deficits compared to baseline status.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Pain (back and leg)

    Pain levels (back and leg) as measured via Visual Analogue scale (VAS) at each timepoint

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Adverse events

    Measured: 2 years

  6. Patient satisfaction

    "Would you have the Operation again?"

    Measured: 2 years

  7. Concomitant pain medication

    Documentation of drug related medication

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Degenerative Disc Disease, run by Aesculap AG at 2 sites in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

ODI (2y) - ODI(preop) (time frame: 2 years). 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 22 Mar 2017.
