Clinical Trial Summary

Summary: This is a prospective randomize study to compare conservative and aggressive discectomy for treatment of disc herniation with radiculopathy.

Study hypothesis: The investigators believe that conservative discectomy could preserve a higher disc space and has a better long-term outcomes.


Clinical Trial Description

objectives:to compare the effect of two type surgery(conservative discectomy and aggressive discectomy)on disc herniation with radiculopathy after long-term follow-up.

methods:the patients who were confirmed suffer from disc herniation with radiculopathy and failed to nonsurgical treatment will be divided into two groups, and will be follow up 3~6 years for seeking the effect on disc space preservation and recurrent.

outcome measures:the rate of pain release and patients satisfaction were measured by SF-36,ODI,VAS,score post-OP. the height of disc was measured on X-ray film by the end point. ;


Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
