Place of Ultrasound Guidance of Surgery Site in Surgery for Lumbar Canal Stenosis and Lumbar Disc Herniations

A study testing Ultrasound guidance in addition to radiographic guidance in people with Lumbar Stenosis, Familial, run by Centre Medico-Chirurgicale et Obstetrique Cote d'Opale at 1 site in France.

Trial summary

The identification of the operative site of lumbar ductal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation is classically done by radioscopy, thus inducing irradiation of the patient. The use of ultrasound in spine surgery is little studied and poorly mentioned in the scientific literature. Read more about this study

About this study

The identification of the operative site of lumbar ductal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation is classically done by radioscopy, thus inducing irradiation of the patient.

The use of ultrasound in spine surgery is little studied and poorly mentioned in the scientific literature. However, it is commonly used for other types of scouting (especially anesthetics). Thus, in the absence of consensus and clear recommendations, some practitioners perform ultrasound scans . Methodological developments also validate the feasibility of the ultrasound approach.

The double benefit of an ultrasound identification is firstly a lack of exposure to X-rays for both the patient and the operating team and secondly a lower cost than a conventional radiography.

The main objective is to demonstrate the interest of the ultrasound identification of the surgical site in the intervention of lumbar ductal stenosis and lumbar disc herniations in terms of concordance of the operating site between ultrasound and fluoroscopy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound guidance in addition to radiographic guidance in people with Lumbar Stenosis, Familial, run by Centre Medico-Chirurgicale et Obstetrique Cote d'Opale at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

concordance of the operating site after radiological and ultrasound guidance (time frame: day 1). 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 17 Oct 2019.
