Trial summary

The lesion located inside the spinal canal caused big trouble for clinical treatment. Traditional laminectomy will destroy the biomechanics and influent the vertebral stability, which might cause kyphosis or other deformity. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Influence of Laminoplasty and Internal Fixation on Vertebral Stability After Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Laminectomy for Tumor Resection

The lesion located inside the spinal canal caused big trouble for clinical treatment. Traditional laminectomy will destroy the biomechanics and influent the vertebral stability, which might cause kyphosis or other deformity. So in some centers, neurosurgeries praised laminoplasty to make the intactness of posterior column. They thought the laminoplasty can maintain the vertebral stability, and meanwhile the range of motion won't change so much. However, some other scholars thought laminoplasty had no helps for stability because of the pseudarthrosis. They preferred screw and stick system for internal fixation. And we did meet several patients after laminectomy suffered with spinal deformity. So we thought it is necessary for investigating the benefit of patients from laminoplasty and internal fixation.

Read the detailed description

After laminectomy for removal of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar lesions, the recruited cases were randomly divided into two groups.

  1. The cases in group of laminoplasty, the lamina and spinous process was replanted to maintain the anatomical intactness of spinal canal.
  2. On the other hand, the cases in internal fixation group, the pedicle screws were implanted, and tickets were used to complete the internal fixation.

During 3 years follow up, the vertebral deformity and the range of motion were investigated and evaluated. And in the meantime, the patient's age will also be analyzed to detect it's influence for the prognosis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Disorders Following Clinical Procedure, run by Southern Medical University, China at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yuntao Lu, M.D., Ph.D (+8613632101002, lllu2000@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Vertebral deformity (time frame: 3 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 19 Apr 2016.
