About this study

Official title: A Novel Technique for Degenerative Lumber Spine Fusion: Unilateral Pedicular Screws Fixation Combined With Contralateral Interbody Cage Fusion

● Null hypothesis (H0): Unilateral pedicle screw with contralateral interbody cage has better outcomes than unilateral pedicle screw fixation with ipsilateral cage.

● Alternative hypothesis (H1):

Unilateral pedicle screw with contralateral interbody cage gives the same outcomes as unilateral pedicle screw fixation with ipsilateral cage.

Read the detailed description

Lumber interbody fusion is one of the commonest neurosurgical procedures. A lot of studies showed the value of unilateral approach which resulted in less cost, time and radiation exposure when use interbody cage with ipsilateral pedicular screws fixation in comparison to bilateral approach when use interbody cage with bilateral pedicular screws fixation.

Fusion rate, cage migration, and biomechanical stress were the main draw backs of unilateral approach by lumber interbody fusion with ipsilateral cage and screws. Cage size and location seemingly the main reasons with advice to use large cage and cage insertion in oblique fashion to cross the midline. This study was designed to solve these issues.

Sample size:

The Study will include 40 patients divided into two groups, each group containing 20 patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of fusion status

    Evaluation of fusion status using CT scan and Xray

    Measured: up to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Back Pain

    use of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) as a 10-cm line labeled with (0= no pain and 10=worst pain)

    Measured: At 24 hours, 2 weeks and 3 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pedicle screw fixation on one side and intervertebral cage on the other sided and pedicle screw fixation and interbody cage on the same side in people with Treatment, run by Zagazig University.

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 9 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 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Wael Elmesallamy, M.D (01142453993 ext. 002, waelmesallamy50@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of fusion status (time frame: up to 3 months). 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 Feb 2022.
