What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looked at using 3D navigation to help guide spine fusion surgery in 11 adults with worn-out discs. The goal was to see if the technology helps place screws more accurately and reduces complications. Researchers measured things like surgery time, blood loss, and pain recovery after the procedure.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of adult patients aged 20 years or older with lumbar degenerative disease who underwent oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) with navigation assistance as part of routine clinical care at a single tertiary medical center. All participants received surgical treatment based on standard clinical indications and provided written informed consent. Postoperative clinical and radiographic outcomes were evaluated during routine follow-up.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult male and female patients aged 20 years or older with lumbar spine disease confirmed by clinical evaluation. * Patients who are willing to undergo oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) via an anterior or oblique lumbar approach. * Patients who have provided written informed consent in accordance with local regulatory requirements. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are currently participating in, or have participated within the past 6 months in, another clinical study involving an investigational procedure, device, or drug. * Patients who, in the judgment of the principal investigator, have conditions that may impair their ability to provide written informed consent, such as psychiatric disorders or neurodegenerative diseases. * Patients experiencing uncontrollable or unavoidable events, including but not limited to legally defined infectious diseases, pregnancy, severe accidental injury, or death. * Patients who are unwilling or unable to comply with postoperative follow-up.
