Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT): A Multicenter Trial for Spinal Stenosis (SpS)

Study type | Interventional |
This study tests the effectiveness of different treatments for the three most commonly
diagnosed conditions of the lower backbone (lumbar spine). The purpose is to learn which of
two commonly prescribed treatments (surgery and nonsurgical therapy) works better for
specific types of low back pain. Low back pain is one of the most widely experienced health
problems in the United States and the world. It is the second most frequent condition, after
the common cold, for which people see a doctor or lose days from work.
In this part of the study, we will treat patients with spinal stenosis (a narrowing of
spaces in the backbone that results in pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerve roots) with
a type of surgery known as posterior decompressive laminectomy or with nonsurgical methods.
This study does not cover the cost of treatment.

Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria: - Duration of Symptoms: 12 or more weeks. - Treatments tried: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medical therapy and physical therapy. - Surgical Screening: Pain in low back, buttocks, or lower extremity that becomes worse with lumbar extension. Must be confirmed by evidence of central or central-lateral compression of the cauda equina by a degenerative lesion of the facet joint, disc, or ligamentum flavum on MRI, computed tomography scans, or myelograms. - Tests: MRI to confirm diagnosis and level(s). Exclusion Criteria: - Previous lumbar spine surgery. - Not a surgical candidate for any of these reasons: Overall health that makes spinal surgery too life-threatening to be an appropriate alternative, patient has improved dramatically with conservative care, or the patient is unable (for any reason) to undergo surgery within 6 months. - Possible pregnancy. - Active malignancy: Patients with a history of any invasive malignancy (except nonmelanoma skin cancer) are ineligible unless they have been treated with curative intent AND have not had any clinical signs or symptoms of the malignancy for at least 5 years. - Current fracture, infection, and/or deformity (greater than 15 degrees of lumbar scoliosis, using Cobb measure technique) of the spine. - Age less than 18 years. - Cauda equina syndrome or progressive neurologic deficit (usually requiring urgent surgery). - Unavailability for followup (planning to move, no telephone, etc.) or inability to complete data surveys. - Symptoms less than 12 weeks. - Patient currently enrolled in any experimental "spine related" study. |
