New nerve monitor aims to make back surgery safer
NCT ID NCT02272140
Summary
This study tested a new method to monitor nerve health during a specific type of minimally invasive back surgery (XLIF). The goal was to see if stimulating nerves near the spine during the operation could give surgeons better, real-time warnings to help prevent nerve damage. Researchers enrolled 324 adults with degenerative disc disease to see if this monitoring technique accurately predicted their nerve function after surgery.
