Phase N/A

Overview

This study is to evaluate the correlation between muscle atrophy (MA), sagittal alignment, and stenosis degree in patients with lumbar spinal Stenosis (LSS). From existing radiological images, specific radiographic parameters will be extracted. General Information (Age, sex, levels of stenosis, duration of symptoms) will be extracted from patient files.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis
  • Upright standing sagittal plane X-ray of lumbar spine with clear visibility of pelvis sacrum and femoral head
  • MRI of the lumbar region with clear visibility of different muscle atrophy grade
  • Consent that health related information can be used for research was signed

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Other spinal disease such as severe scoliosis, fracture, spondylolisthesis and ankylosing spondylitis.
  • Neuromuscular diseases such as M.Parkinson or multiple sclerosis
  • Previous surgery of the spine
  • Infection and/or malignancy tumor with involvement of the bony or soft tissue structures of the spine
  • Presence of a documented consent dissent.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
