Summary
This study tested whether adding Dermabond (a medical glue) to stitches helps keep spinal cord stimulator leads from moving after placement. 57 adults with chronic pain had their leads secured either with stitches alone or with stitches plus glue. The main goal was to measure how far the leads moved over 5-8 days using X-rays.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Dermabond (medical glue) and suture
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a simple way to keep spinal cord stimulator leads in place, reducing the need for repeat procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 57 people. The glue may not reduce lead movement enough to make a real difference, and some people may have allergic reactions.
