Disc replacement may keep patients working longer than spinal fusion

NCT ID NCT06989632

Summary

This study looks at people who received a total lumbar disc prosthesis (Baguera®L) for lower back pain or sciatica caused by disc degeneration or herniation. The goal is to see how many return to their original job five years after surgery. Unlike spinal fusion, which often limits mobility and prevents return to work, disc replacement aims to preserve motion and improve work outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Baguera®L lumbar disc prosthesis
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that disc replacement helps more people return to their original jobs compared to spinal fusion, preserving mobility and reducing disability.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study without a control group, so it cannot prove disc replacement is better than other surgeries. Results depend on individual factors like job type and overall health.
