NCT ID: NCT05140733 Completed - Clinical trials for Lumbar Foraminal Stenosis

Outcomes of Patients With Foraminal Stenosis

Start date: August 22, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The present study was to see the effect of minimally invasive neural foraminotomy for lumbar foraminal stenosis with unilateral radicular pain. Traditionally, fusion was was done for the patients, but recent development enable surgeon to decompress neural foramen without rigid spinal fusion. Although, clinical effect of neural foraminotomy may have limitation in attaining a comparable result to fusion surgery, a cost-effective analysis may reveal a result in a different perspective. In this regard, we designed a prospective cohort study to see the cost-effectiveness of neural foraminotomy compared to fusion surgery.

NCT ID: NCT02985138 Completed - Clinical trials for Lumbar Foraminal Stenosis

Comparison of Unilateral or Bilateral Fixation in the Treatment of LFS

Start date: December 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

TLIF is a popular lumbar fusion technique to perform interbody fusion. Pedicle screws providing initial stability have been developed to correct deformity, improve the rate of fusion and speed patient's postoperative recovery. Conventionally, bilateral pedicle screw fixation is a standard approach. Recently, studies have revealed that unilateral pedicle screw fixation provides equivalent clinical outcomes and fusion rates as compared with bilateral pedicle screw fixation in lumbar fusion. Meanwhile, the unilateral approach can reduce intraoperative blood loss and operating time. To our knowledge, few randomized controlled studies comparing unilateral versus bilateral instrumented TLIF in lumbar degenerative diseases have been reported. The purpose of this study is to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes in a series of patients with lumbar foraminal stenosis using instrumented TLIF with unilateral or bilateral pedicle screw fixation.
