Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis patients who underwent TESSYS or "U" rout PELD, recruited from January 2014 to December 2017.

Who may be able to join

  • (1) patients with the diagnosis of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) (central stenosis with or without lateral recess stenosis) on mono or double segments, with the imaging evidence of magnetic resonance images (MRI) and computed tomography (CT); (2) patients presented low back pain, limp and sciatica, and have accepted conservative treatment more than 3 months but failed in symptoms relief; (3) patients agreed to accept TESSYS or the "U" route PELD procedure over other spinal surgeries; (4) patients had lumbar MRI imaging examines in our hospital at pre- and post-operation.

Who cannot join

  • (1) patients with spinal instability, including dynamic instability or more than Grade II spondylolisthesis; (2) patients had spinal surgical history; (3) patients with peripheral nerve disease, systematic infection, bleeding diathesis or high risk of bleeding that cannot tolerate the surgery; (4) patients with mental illness and were uncooperative; (5) patients lost to the follow up.

About this study

Official title: Comparisons of TESSYS and "U" Route Procedures of Transforaminal Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy on Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Treatment

Different procedure of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) was with ventral decompression of dural sac on the lumbar spinal stenosis remains unkonwn.The traditional transforaminal endoscopic spine system (TESSYS) of PELD has been used in clnical for many years, but cannot achieve dorsal decompression. A newly developed modified TESSYS procedure, "U" route PELD combining ventral and dorsal decompression was introduced. Nevertheless, the superior between TESSYS and "U" route PELD procedures on treating LSS remains unknown. This study is desinged to recruit degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis patients who underwent TESSYS or "U" rout PELD, recruited from January 2014 to December 2017. These patients will be followed up for 2 years, and assessed the minimum dura sac cross sectional area (mDCSA) by MRI, and visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at pre- and post-operation. The global clinical outcomes were evaluated using modified MacNab criteria postoperatively. Thus, comprehensively evaluate the safety and therapeutic effects of the two PELD procedures on LSS treatments.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain assessed by Visual Analogue Scale

    Visual Analogue Scale (VAS 0 to 10)

    Measured: Preoperation to postoperative 2 years.

  2. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

    the disability with ODI (0 to 100)

    Measured: Preoperation to postoperative 2 years.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. minimum Dural sac cross sectional area (mDCSA)

    the mDCSA at the most constricted lumbar spinal level of surgical intervertebral disc were measured for three times by the software of INFINITT Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) (INFINITT Healthcare Co., Seoul Korea)

    Measured: Baseline and postoperative 1-month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Degeneration Disc and Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, run by Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou 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 19 Mar 2020. 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?

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?

Pain assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (time frame: Preoperation to postoperative 2 years.). The study lists 2 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 19 Mar 2020.
