Study population: All patients treated with this removable percutaneous IPS in our two Centres from December 2018 to February 2020 were retrospectively reviewed and those with complete imaging and clinical data were selected. Patients attended interventional radiology outpatient consultations for back pain and NIC, refractory to medical treatment.

About this study

Official title: A Multicentric Retrospective Evaluation of Clinical and Radiologic Outcome of All Patients Treated With a Removable Percutaneous Interspinous Process Spacer (LobsterProject® Techlamed®) for Symptomatic Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis in 2019.

Purpose To evaluate clinical and radiologic outcome of a series of patients treated with a removable percutaneous interspinous process spacer (IPS) (LobsterProject® Techlamed®) for symptomatic degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS).

Methods All patients treated in the two considered Centres with this IPS during 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with incomplete clinical or radiological documentation were not included. Procedures were performed under deep sedation or general anaesthesia by two interventional radiologists. Patients were clinically evaluated before intervention and at 3-month follow-up with Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and radiologically with MRI or CT scans. Neural foramina were independently measured for each patient on pre- and post-procedural CT scans by two radiologists.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oswestry Disability Index

    Disability level evaluated with Oswestry Disability Index before intervention

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Oswestry Disability Index

    Disability level evaluated with Oswestry Disability Index after intervention

    Measured: 3 Months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Visual Analog Scale for pain

    Pain level from 0 (no pain) to 100 (unbearable pain) before intervention

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Visual Analog Scale for pain

    Pain level from 0 (no pain) to 100 (unbearable pain) after intervention

    Measured: 3 Months

  3. Variation of foraminal area

    Variation of cross sectional area of neural foramina of the treated level on pre-procedural and post-rocedural CT scan

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Variation of foraminal area

    Variation of cross sectional area of neural foramina of the treated level on pre-procedural and post-rocedural CT scan

    Measured: 3 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Neurologic Intermittent Claudication, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 5 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 24 Jan 2022. 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 France. 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?

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?

Oswestry Disability Index (time frame: Baseline). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05203666, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Jan 2022.
