Clinical Trial Summary

From adulthood onwards, the aging process manifests itself in the spine through loss of disc height and kyphotic deformity. As the general population ages, the prevalence of lumbar degenerative diseases and sagittal imbalance increases. Sagittal balance is a physiological alignment resulting from the effective muscular and ligamentary forces that place patients' heads harmoniously in line with their pelvis. Roussouly first classified this alignment by differentiating four types of balance in an asymptomatic population. He established a link between the varieties of sagittal balance of the spine, the sacral slope and the position of the pelvis in space. He went on to explain sagittal imbalance in the aging population suffering from degenerative diseases. One of the most common lumbar degenerative diseases is lumbar spinal canal stenosis. Stenosis of the lumbar spinal canal is frequently associated with sagittal imbalance of the spine. Lumbar canal stenosis causes lumbar pain, leg pain, neurogenic intermittent claudication and bladder and rectal disorders. The severity of clinical symptoms increases linearly with progressive sagittal imbalance [8]. We represent the sagittal imbalance of the spine by a positive sagittal vertical axis (SVA) presented by patients to reduce the pressure exerted by the yellow ligament, which is hypertrophied in degenerative disease . Many have shown that this forward-flexing posture can be improved by simple decompression, and that this deformity corresponds to an analgesic position and not to a structural deformity. Little is known about the factors that influence alignment after lumbar canal decompression and short segment fusion. This study therefore aims to elucidate some of the clinical and radiological factors likely to affect postoperative sagittal balance in patients undergoing simple minimally invasive decompression surgery and short segment fusion (1 or 2 levels).

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
