Clinical Trial Summary

IntraSPINE® is a novel device that, unlike interspinous positioned implants, is unique in being placed more anteriorly in an interlaminar position, closer to the normal center of rotation of the motion segment. Mechanical advantages are thus conferred over more posteriorly positioned devices through the possibility of more physiological 'rocking' type movements in flexion and extension . This enables IntraSPINE® to off-load the facet joints in extension without blocking movement. Having a more anteriorly placed fulcrum also helps control excessive flexion movements by virtue of an improved lever arm in conjunction with an intact posterior tension band.

The underlying hypothesis of this work is that a clinical gain is achieved by adding an IntraSPINE® interlaminar device to discectomy in patients suffering from a lumbar disc herniation. This should result in an improvement in incapacity level and a reduction in pain.

Intervention

Device:
Insertion of INTRASPINE device
The surgical technique for excision of the disc hernia is the surgeon's usual technique: patient positioning (lying on his/her back or front or in the knee to chest position) the approach to the lumbar disc hernia (interlaminar or interspinous), closure and drainage of the operation site are performed by the surgeon's usual practice. IntraSPINE® is positioned once surgery for the disc hernia has been performed. The implant bed is prepared with the assistance of the distractor provided. The choice of implant size is made after positioning the trial device corresponding to the anatomical bed. Once the size has been established the corresponding implant is placed in a cup of physiological saline prior to implantation. Implantation is performed using the appropriate implant holder.
Procedure:
Discectomy
The surgical technique for excision of the disc hernia is the surgeon's usual technique: patient positioning (lying prone or supine or in the knee to chest position). The approach to the lumbar disc hernia (interlaminar or interspinous), closure and drainage of the operation site are performed using the surgeon's normal practice.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change from Baseline to 12 months of the degree of functional disability associated with lumbar pain will be measured using the Oswestry Disability Index The Oswestry questionnaire provides an assessment of the symptoms and severity of the back pain and repercussions on activities of daily living. The questionnaire contains 10 questions concerning: pain, personal care, carrying loads, walking, seated position, standing position, sleep, sex life, social life and travel. Each question offers six answers with a score of 0 to 6 which the patient must select: a score of 0 represents normal function and a score of 6 represents greatly reduced function.
The score obtained is multiplied by 2 in order to obtain a percentage handicap, with 0% for no handicap and 100% for the greatest handicap. It takes approximately 5 minutes to complete the test.
Baseline and 12 months
Secondary The effect of the IntraSPINE® device associated with discectomy versus discectomy alone in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation with regard to recurrence of disc herniation during the study recurrence will be defined as the occurrence of disc herniation confirmed by imaging(MRI) or following surgery at the instrumented level in patients undergoing further surgery during the course of the study. This definition enables the inclusion of all hernias (both symptomatic and asymptomatic). All study period (24 months)
Secondary Evolution between inclusion, 1, 6,12 and 24 months post-surgery of the degree of functional disability like symptoms and severity of back pain and repercussions on activities of daily living associated with lumbar pain using the Oswestry Disability Index The Oswestry questionnaire provides an assessment of the symptoms and severity of the back pain and repercussions on activities of daily living. The questionnaire contains 10 questions concerning: pain, personal care, carrying loads, walking, seated position, standing position, sleep, sex life, social life and travel. Each question offers six answers with a score of 0 to 6 which the patient must select: a score of 0 represents normal function and a score of 6 represents greatly reduced function.
The score obtained is multiplied by 2 in order to obtain a percentage handicap, with 0% for no handicap and 100% for the greatest handicap. It takes approximately 5 minutes to complete the test.
The Oswestry Disability Index will be measured at inclusion and at 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months after surgery.
inclusion, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery
Secondary Evolution between inclusion, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery in the two groups with regard to lumbar and radicular pain using a Visual Analogic Scale Radicular and lumbar pain will be assessed on a Visual Analogic Scale at inclusion, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery. The visual analogue scale is a graduated ruler from 0 to 10 cm where 0 indicates that the subject has no pain and 10 cm represents the maximum pain the subject can tolerate. It is a self-assessment scale and is sensitive, reproducible, reliable and validated both in acute pain and chronic pain situations. inclusion, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery
Secondary Evolution between inclusion, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery in the two groups with regard to disc height Disc height (anterior and posterior) will be measured at inclusion, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery based on full-spine x-rays inclusion, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery
Secondary Evolution between inclusion, 1month, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery in the two groups with regard to quality of life Quality of life will be assessed using the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) score at inclusion, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery.The SF-12 test is a shortened version of the "Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form General Health Survey" (SF 36) which only includes 12 of the 36 questions. The SF 12 provides two scores: a mental and social quality of life score and a physical quality of life score. The SF-12 summary scores range from 0 to 100 with higher scores representing better self-reported health inclusion, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-surgery
