About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Outcomes of Discectomy With Dynesys in Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation: a Prospective Study

To explore the clinical outcomes of discectomy with dynamic neutralization system(Dynesys) on treatment of single-segmental lumbar disc herniation(LDH) versus simple discectomy.

Read the detailed description

The study was to explore the clinical outcomes of discectomy with dynamic neutralization system(Dynesys) on treatment of single-segmental lumbar disc herniation(LDH) versus simple discectomy. 128 patients with single-segmental LDH were randomly divided into discectomy with Dynesys group(group A) and simple discectomy group(group B). Both groups were evaluated by Visual Analogue Score(VAS), Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), radiological evidence of intervertebral height and range of motion(ROM) of the treated segment at pre- and post-operation. Operation duration and blood loss was recorded. The clinical outcomes and complications were evaluated afterwards. All patients received a 2-year follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. visual analog scale

    visual analog scale(0-10 scores) is for pain, 0 represent no pain, 10 score represent the severe pain.

    Measured: 2 year

  2. Oswestry Disability Index

    Oswestry Disability Index is for movement function, Questionnaire examines perceived level of disability in everyday activities of daily living. The ODI score (index) is calculated as: For example: If all 10 sections are completed, the score is calculated as follows: if 16 (total scored) out of 50 (total possible score) x 100 = 32%; If one section is missed (or not applicable), the score is calculated: If 16 (total scored) / 45 (total possible score) x 100 = 35.5%.

    Measured: 2 year

  3. Intervertebral height

    Intervertebral height in X-ray is for recontruction of the intervertebral space.

    Measured: 2 year

  4. Range of motion(ROM)

    ROM was measured by the flexion-extension radiographs of both endplates of the treated segment.

    Measured: 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dynesys in people with Orthopedic Disorder of Spine, run by Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 8 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

visual analog scale (time frame: 2 year). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Nov 2019.
