About this study

The photographical and functional parameters of paravertebral muscle in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis will be measured to investigate the correlation between paravertebral muscle degeneration and symptoms and prognosis of patients.By measuring the parameters of paravertebral muscle with normal people, the differences between the patients and normal people will be compared to establish an appropriate paravertebral muscle evaluation method.

Read the detailed description

It is a prospective observational study. This study will recruit 200 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who will undertake posterior lumbar decompression and fusion surgery in our hospital.They all take preoperative lumbar mri examination and waist and back muscle strength test as well as recording their preoperative visual analogue scale,oswestry disability index, lumbar stiffness disability index score.All patients will receive a follow-up lasting for 1 year,and we will record patients outcomes,such as visual analogue scale,oswestry disability index and lumbar stiffness disability index score at each follow-up time. At the same time,we will recruit 100 healthy subjects without lumbar diseases or chronic lumbar pain. The difference of their age with patients was less than 5 years. Meanwhile, lumbar dorsal muscle strength test and lumbar mri examination were conducted, and visual analogue scale as well as oswestry disability index and lumbar stiffness disability index score was recorded in healthy subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscles

    the cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscles reflects the quantity of paraspinal muscles. Higher cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscles means larger paraspinal muscle.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. functional cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscles

    functional cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscles reflects the quality of paraspinal muscles. It means the lean paraspinal muscle.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Performance time of paraspinal muscle endurance test

    Participants were asked to lie prone on a plinth and lift their sternum from the plinth, raising their upper body.While maintaining this position, participants were asked to keep their arms in line with the body axis and not in contact with the plinth. Task failure was determined by a drop in the angle of trunk of greater than 10°at any point. The time was recorded until task failure or until the maximum contraction duration was reached (300 s).

    Measured: Baseine

  4. lumbar stiffness disability index

    The lumbar stiffness disability index ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: the follow-up time of 3 months

  5. lumbar stiffness disability index

    The lumbar stiffness disability index ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: the follow-up time of 6 months

  6. lumbar stiffness disability index

    The lumbar stiffness disability index ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: the follow-up time of 12 months

  7. lumbar stiffness disability index

    The lumbar stiffness disability index ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: Baseline

  8. The Oswestry Disability Index

    The Oswestry Disability Index ranges from 0 to 100.Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: Baseline

  9. The Oswestry Disability Index

    The Oswestry Disability Index ranges from 0 to 100.Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: the follow-up time of 3 months

  10. The Oswestry Disability Index

    The Oswestry Disability Index ranges from 0 to 100.Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: the follow-up time of 6 months

  11. The Oswestry Disability Index

    The Oswestry Disability Index ranges from 0 to 100.Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: the follow-up time of 12 months

  12. Visual Analog Score

    Visual Analog Score is used to evaluate pain,ranging from 0 to 10.Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: Baseline

  13. Visual Analog Score

    Visual Analog Score is used to evaluate pain,ranging from 0 to 10.Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: the follow-up time of 3 months

  14. Visual Analog Score

    Visual Analog Score is used to evaluate pain,ranging from 0 to 10.Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: the follow-up time of 6 months

  15. Visual Analog Score

    Visual Analog Score is used to evaluate pain,ranging from 0 to 10.Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: the follow-up time of 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Paraspinal Muscle, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 14 Jan 2022. 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 China. 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?

Contact weishi li, MD (13501358705, puh3liweishi@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cross-sectional area of paraspinal muscles (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 15 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 14 Jan 2022.
