About this study

Official title: A Clinical Investigation Evaluating Efficacy of a Full-Thickness Placental Allograft in Lumbar Microdiscectomy Outcomes

To evaluate the efficacy of full thickness placental allograft use in Microdiscectomy application. To evaluate post-microdiscectomy reherniation rate in patients treated with full-thickness placental allografts.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of full thickness placental allograft use in improving back and leg pain, when applied to patients undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy.

Being tested
Other: Full-thickness placental allograft
Medical subject headings
Surgical Wound, Hernia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Other: Full-thickness placental allograftOther

    A full-thickness placental allograft will be applied to the annulus of the index lumbar level prior to site closure.

Study groups in NCT03536013
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TreatmentExperimental91 patients will undergo a typical lumbar microdiscectomy with the addition of a full-thickness placental allograft after the microdiscectomy has been performed.
