About this study

Official title: The Use of Bone Marrow Concentrate in Elective Tranforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Surgery: A Randomized Control Trial

This study aims to evaluate the effect of bone marrow concentration on bone healing and spinal fusion by comparing clinical and imaging outcomes between patients receiving transforaminal lumbar intebody fusion with local bone graft and with intraoperative bone marrow concentration and those receiving transforaminal lumbar intebody fusion with local bone graft only.

Read the detailed description

Spinal arthrodesis has become the mainstay of treatment for severe spinal deformity, spinal instability, spondylolisthesis, and symptomatic degenerative disease. Its primary goal is to develop an osseous bridge between adjacent motion segments to prevent motion, relieve pain, and facilitate neurological recovery. One of the arthrodesis method is transforaminal lumbar intebody fusion. After removal of the problematic disc, iliac crest bone graft was harvested and impacted into the space with cage to facilitate fusion. However, patients are exposed to additional risk of harvesting site, such as pain, infection, wound healing problem or hematomas. Local bone graft harvested from decompression is one of the alternative solutions to avoid these complications. However, the effect of local boen graft is inferior to iliac crest bone graft because iliac crest bone graft contains three important ingredients for successful fusion: osteoconductive scaffold, osteoinductive factors, and the ability to osteogenesis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent cells that can differentiate into multiple mesenchymal tissues, including tenocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts, as well as being a source of multiple growth factors to establish an environment conducive to soft and hard tissue regeneration. As bone marrow concentration has high concentration of mesenchymal stem cells, some studies have shown that autologous bone marrow concentration can improve bone healing. In this study, we will add bone marrow concentration into local bone graft during transforaminal lumbar intebody fusion and evaluate the effect of bone marrow concentration on bone healing and spinal fusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. 3-month postoperative spinal function evaluated by Oswestry Disability Index

    Subjective evaluation of spinal function by Oswestry Disability Index. Oswestry Disability Index ranges from 0 to 100 and lower score indicates less disability.

    Measured: 3-month postoperative

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. 6-month postoperative spinal function evaluated by Oswestry Disability Index

    Subjective evaluation of spinal function by Oswestry Disability Index. Oswestry Disability Index ranges from 0 to 100 and lower score indicates less disability.

    Measured: 6-month postoperative

  2. 12-month postoperative spinal function evaluated by Oswestry Disability Index

    Subjective evaluation of spinal function by Oswestry Disability Index. Oswestry Disability Index ranges from 0 to 100 and lower score indicates less disability.

    Measured: 12-month postoperative

  3. 3-month postoperative degree of pain evaluated by visual analogue scale

    Subjective evaluation of degree of pain by visual analogue scale. Visual analogue scale for pain ranges from 0 to 10 and higher score indicates more pain.

    Measured: 3-month postoperative

  4. 6-month postoperative degree of pain evaluated by visual analogue scale

    Subjective evaluation of degree of pain by visual analogue scale. Visual analogue scale for pain ranges from 0 to 10 and higher score indicates more pain.

    Measured: 6-month postoperative

  5. 12-month postoperative degree of pain evaluated by visual analogue scale

    Subjective evaluation of degree of pain by visual analogue scale. Visual analogue scale for pain ranges from 0 to 10 and higher score indicates more pain.

    Measured: 12-month postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with local bone graft and intraoperative bone marrow concentration and Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with local bone graft in people with Bone Marrow and Spinal Fusion, run by Pei-Yuan Lee, MD at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 14 Apr 2020. 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 Taiwan. 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.
