N/A

Detailed Description

The coflex® implant for interlaminar stabilization has been in clinical use for more than 10 years and is CE-certified according to the standards and approved in the United States.

This was a randomized multicenter study to collect prospective data for potential improvement in the therapy of low back pain during the treatment of spinal stenosis. The study was conducted in Germany.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in ODI From Baseline to 24 Months [Baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months]

    The ODI, also known as the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire is a questionnaire providing information on back and leg pain and the affects on managing everyday life by dividing questions into 10 sections. For this study, the questions on sexual activity will not be asked. The total possible score for each section is 0-5. The scores are then converted percentages ranging from 0% (minimal disability) to 100% (maximum possible disability).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Significant Migration or Expulsion of the Implant [2 years]

    Assess significant migration, defined as > 5mm by x-ray images (point of reference is the tip of the U-portion implant identified on the corresponding x-ray image).

  2. Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Back Pain From Baseline to 24 Months [Baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months]

    Improvement of the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for low back pain (on the 100mm scale) compared to control group. 0 = no pain and 100 = worst pain imaginable.

  3. Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Leg Pain From Baseline to 24 Months [Baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months]

    Improvement of the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for leg pain (on the 100mm scale) compared to control group. 0 = no pain and 100 = worst pain imaginable.

  4. Neurological Status - Mean Change in Sensory Deficit From Baseline to 24 Months [Baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months]

    Sensory deficits will be assessed at nerves roots from L3, L4, L5, and S1. Grading score ranges from 1=absent to 3=normal.

  5. Assessment of Time to Symptoms Utilizing Walking Distance Test [2 years]

    During this test, a patient has to walk on a treadmill (speed 1.8 km/h [12]) for 15 minutes (450 m) on a 0 degree ramp incline. It will be assessed time to first symptoms, time to severe symptoms and nature of symptoms (leg weakness, leg pain, back pain, or generalized fatigue, other). A time of zero will be recorded when symptoms were present at onset. The examination will be stopped after 15 minutes or at the onset of severe symptoms. Definition of severe symptoms is: The level of discomfort that would make patients stop their activities in usual life situations. It is assumed that patients with additional back pain will have more problems in managing the complete walking distance and therefore may stop the walking distance test before the endpoint at 15 minutes

  6. Number of Participants With Adverse Events - Operative Site [2 years]

    Number of Participants that experience adverse events related to the operative site from each group.

  7. The Percentage of Patients With Survival Probability as Assessed by Evaluating Treatment Failure in Both Groups.. [2 years]

    Treatment failure is defined as any secondary intervention, severe adverse event or other parameters that define the device as ineffective or not safe. The following events/outcomes were defined as treatment failures: wound revisions, patients with trauma requiring surgical intervention, disc hernia or dura repair, and/or pain management.

  8. Change of Symptoms- Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ) After 24 Months Compared to Baseline. [Baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months]

    The symptom severity scale ranges from 0 to 5 where a higher score indicates a worse outcome. Percentage of the maximum reported score for the symptom severity scale was calculated at baseline and 24 months and change in percentage score is reported in the Outcome Measure data table.

  9. Change in Functionality- Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ) From Baseline to 24 Months [Baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months]

    The symptom severity scale ranges from 0 to 5 where a higher score indicates a worse outcome. Percentage of the maximum reported score for the symptom severity scale was calculated at baseline and 24 months and change in percentage score is reported in the Outcome Measure data table.

  10. Neurological Status - Mean Change in Muscle Strength From Baseline to 24 Months [Baseline, Day 0 (Surgery), 3, 12, and 24 months]

    Muscle strength will be assessed on right/left muscle strength at 6 groups of leg muscles. Score ranges from 0=contraction to 5=normal.

  11. Assessment of Neurological Status Using the Laségue Test or Straight Leg Raise Test- Change From Baseline to 24 Months [Baseline, Day 0 (Surgery), 3, 12, and 24 months]

    The straight leg raise or a Laségue Test is used to assess a participant's low back pain. A positive outcome is identified if a participant experiences low back pain when the straight leg is at a certain angle (0-90 degrees). A negative test suggests a likely different cause for back pain. The test is performed on both right and left legs.

  12. Number of Participants Receiving Epidural Injections [2 years]

    Epidural injections at up to 24 months

  13. Neurological Status- Mean Change in Trendelenburg Sign Test From Baseline to 24 Months. [Baseline, Day 0 (Surgery), 3, 12, and 24 months]

    Trendelenburg's sign was used to assess the neurological status of a subject. The test was taken for both the left and right sides and assessed as not present/absent (no= corresponding with a value of 1) or present (yes= corresponding to a value of 2). The average of each patient's worst side was calculated. Mean values closer to 1 indicate more patients with an absent Trendelenburg's sign, and a decrease in the mean change indicates more patients improving from a present to absent Trendelenburg's sign.

  14. Neurological Status- Mean Change in Ilio Sacral Joint Affection Test From Baseline to 24 Months. [Baseline, Day 0 (Surgery), 3, 12, and 24 months]

    Ilio sacral join affection test was used to assess the neurological status of a subject. The test was taken for both the left and right sides and assessed as not present/absent (no= corresponding with a value of 1) or present (yes= corresponding to a value of 2). The average of each patient's worst side was calculated. Mean values closer to 1 indicate more patients with an absent llio sacral joint affection and a decrease in the mean change indicates more patients improving from a present to absent sacral join affection.
