About this study

Prestige artificial disc replacement is an alternative treatment option with 16 years of experience addressing the unmet needs of surgical fusion interventions. Previous studies on the PRESTIGE® cervical disc have proven the safety and effectiveness of artificial disc surgery with level I evidence.

The PRESTIGE Observational Study is intended to collect prospectively observational data primarily on the Quality of Life (QoL).

Read the detailed description

Degenerative cervical disc disease is associated with a very high burden to the patient and the society. If conservative treatment options fail, surgical interventions are the last treatment option.

Symptomatic disc degeneration leads to neck pain, which can radiate to the scapula and arm, with dumbness and tingling, and sometimes grasping and walking difficulties. At an advanced stage, muscle weakness can be observed in the nerve territory.

The quality of life and functionality of patients with therapy-resistant (conservatively treated) severe degeneration of the disc is greatly impaired, as they suffer from intense pain and thus disability. Patients of working age were significantly more impacted by their symptoms than older patients. They are no longer able to fully participate in everyday activities.

Cervical neck pain resulting from degenerative disc disease is associated with a major economic burden for payers.

Traditional cervical surgical decompressions and fusions are currently the most common treatment option. Despite good treatment success rates, fusions are associated with a negative impact on the normal kinematics of the spine, long recuperation times and long absence from work. Prestige artificial disc replacement is an alternative treatment option.

The PRESTIGE Observational Study is intended to collect information on Quality of Life (QoL) prior and after PRESTIGE® Cervical Disc surgery; data on pain prior of participation to the study, drug regiment and X-ray evaluation throughout the course of the study will be obtained. In addition adverse events and economic data will be documented.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. EQ-5D

    The primary objective is the documentation of QoL before and after cervical disc surgery using the PRESTIGE® Cervical Disc System. The QoL will be determined using the EQ-5D questionnaire and the Neck Disability Index (NDI).

    EQ-5D is an instrument for measuring health outcome and consists of five dimensions: mobility, selfcare, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression and a Visual Analog Scale that can be used as a quantitative measure of health as judged by the patient. Each dimension has 3 levels (no problems = 1, some problems = 2, and extreme problems = 3). The EQ-5D index has an upper limit of 1 that indicates full health (indicated by "no problem" in all domains), whereas 0 represents death. Scores worst than 0 are possible, implying that some health states may be worse than death.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Neck Disability Index (NDI) Score

    The primary objective is the documentation of QoL before and after cervical disc surgery using the PRESTIGE® Cervical Disc System. The QoL will be determined using the EQ-5D questionnaire and the Neck Disability Index (NDI).

    The NDI is a self-reported questionnaire designed to provide information on how neck pain affects the patient's ability to manage in everyday life. It contains questions on 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation.

    NDI results can be presented as a raw score or as a percent. When presenting it as a raw score, each section is scored on a 0 to 5 rating scale and the result is summarized to a total score with a maximum score of 50. This raw score can also be doubled and expressed as a percentage. Zero points or 0% means no activity limitations and 50 points or 100% means complete activity limitation.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Degenerative Cervical Disc Disease, run by Medtronic Spinal and Biologics at 26 sites in 8 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in Poland, Serbia, Czechia, Hungary, Kuwait and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Mar 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

EQ-5D (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jan 2016.
