Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Single - Center, Prospective, Patient Outcomes Assessment of Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression With the Mild Devices in Patients With Symptomatic Central Canal Stenosis.
This is a single-center study evaluating the outcomes of patients with painful lumbar spinal stenosis who were treated with the mild procedure (minimally invasive lumbar decompression. The patients will be followed for 6 months after the procedure.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Pain as Measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). | A validated ten point scale was used where ten is the worst possible pain and zero represents complete lack of pain. The change from baseline to six months is presented below, where a positive value represents the baseline value minus the 6 month value. | Baseline and six months | No |
Secondary | Improvement in Functional Mobility | Measured subjectively by the Oswestry Disability Index. Extent of disturbance in activities of daily living is subjectively reported using this validated instrument.Higher score indicate greater limitations in activity. The questionnaire is divided into 10 topics including pain intensity, personal care, lifting walking standing sitting, sleeping social life, traveling, employment/homemaking. Each topic is rated zero (no pain or no limitation) to 5 (high pain or very limited physically) based on typical pain and/or physical limitations. The worst possible score is 50 (100% disability) and the best score is zero (0% disability).Change from baseline to month 6 is reported below, where a positive value represents the baseline value minus the month 6 value. | baseline and month 6 | No |
Secondary | Quality of Life as Measured by the Symptom Severity Scale of the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ). | As a validated patient outcome tool specific to lumbar spinal stenosis, Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ) captures symptom severity as a quality of life indicator. A mean score of 1 is the best possible outcome representing 'no pain' in symptom severity, whereas higher mean scores up to a maximum of 5 indicate worse patient symptoms. The symptom severity outcomes are presented below as change from baseline to month 6 where a positive value represents the baseline value minus the 6 month value. Treatment is considered 'successful' or 'clinically relevant' if the patient population has at least a 0.5 improvement in symptom severity. | Baseline and month 6 | No |
Secondary | Quality of Life as Measured by Physical Function Scale of the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ). | For this ZCQ domain, a mean score of 1 is the best possible outcome representing 'no limitation' in physical function, whereas a mean score of 4 indicates worst physical function. Zurich Claudication physical function scale from this validated lumbar spine-specific measurement questionnaire are reported below as change from baseline to month 6. A positive value represents the baseline value minus the 6 month value. Treatment is considered clinically relevant when at least a 0.5 improvement is achieved. | Baseline and month 6 | No |
