Osteoarthritis of Facet Joint of Lumbar Spine Clinical Trial
Official title:
Safety and Efficacy of Injection of Adipose-derived Regenerative Cells (ADRCs) in Patients Suffering From Osteoarthritis of the Facet Joints
This is a prospective, randomized, active controlled, single site safety and efficacy study in subjects suffering from chronic lumber back pain due to facet joint osteoarthritis comparing a single ADRC injection generated with the Transpose® RT system into the facet joint.
Patients will fall into two categories: treatment group (20 subjects) and non-treatment or control group (20 subjects). The treatment group will undergo a small liposuction procedure and receive facet joint osteoarthritis treatment with an ultrasound-guided injection of 5 ml adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) into the point of injury. The control group will receive a 5 ml corticosteroid injection into the point of injury ;
