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 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study included patients with clinical manifestations of intermittent claudication accompanied by lower back pain, lumbar spine MRI and/or CT findings of lumbar spinal stenosis, and X-ray images of over extension and over flexion indicating responsible segment lumbar instability. Symptoms were severe, affecting daily life and work, and conservative treatment was ineffective. RPE-P/TLIF single or double segment surgery was performed.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who present with intermittent claudication accompanied by lower back pain, lumbar spine MRI and/or CT findings of lumbar spinal stenosis, and X-ray images of over extension and over flexion indicating instability of the responsible segment of the lumbar spine, have severe symptoms that affect daily life and work, and have poor conservative treatment results. Therefore, RPE-P/TLIF single segment or double segment surgical treatment is recommended.

Who cannot join

  • Simple lumbar spinal stenosis without responsible segment instability; (2) Long segment (3 or more) spinal stenosis with lumbar instability; (3) Patients with major internal medicine underlying diseases who cannot tolerate surgery; (4) Individuals with comorbid mental disorders or Alzheimer's disease who are unable to cooperate with relevant scale filling and subsequent follow-up; (5) Age<18 years old.

About this study

Official title: Robot-assisted Percutaneous Endoscopic Posterior/Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis With Instability

Objective To analyze the effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted percutaneous endoscopic posterior/transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (RPE-P/TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis with instability. Methods A single-center prospective study from September 2018 to April 2022, patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and instability who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were treated with RPE-P/TLIF. Pain visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of low back pain and lower limb pain before operation, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year after operation and at the final follow-up, and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to evaluate the degree of lumbar spinal function. At the last follow-up, MacNab criteria were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy. Imaging evaluation included the measurement of intervertebral space height, lumbar physiological curvature, fusion rate and pedicle screw accuracy by preoperative and lateral X-ray films.

Study groups in NCT06290908
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RPE-P/TLIFThe clinical manifestation is intermittent claudication accompanied by lower back pain. Patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis indicated by MRI and/or CT, and instability of the responsible segment of the lumbar spine shown by X-ray in the over extension and over flexion position, with severe symptoms that affect daily life and work, and poor conservative treatment effect, should undergo RPE-P/TLIF single or double segment surgical treatment.
Receives: Procedure: RPE-P/TLIF

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain visual analog scale (VAS)

    Pain assessment, assessing lower back pain and lower limb pain.

    Measured: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Oswestry disability index (ODI)

    Evaluate neurological function

    Measured: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery

  2. MacNab criteria

    The overall efficacy rate was evaluated using the modified MacNab criteria, which were divided into four levels: excellent, good, fair, and poor. Among them, excellent was the complete disappearance of symptoms and the restoration of normal life; Liangwei still has mild symptoms and mild activity restriction, but has no impact on life and work; May still have obvious symptoms, limited activities, and affect normal life and work; Poor symptoms do not improve, activities do not improve, and even worsen.

    Measured: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery

  3. intervertebral space height

    Imaging evaluation indicators:

    Measured: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery

  4. lumbar physiological curvature

    Imaging evaluation indicators:

    Measured: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery

  5. fusion rate

    Imaging evaluation indicators:

    Measured: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery

  6. pedicle screw accuracy

    Imaging evaluation indicators:

    Measured: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Stenosis, run by Wen-xi Sun at 1 site in China.

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 4 Mar 2024. 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 China. 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?

Pain visual analog scale (VAS) (time frame: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery). 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 4 Mar 2024.
