New study aims to settle spine surgery debate for chronic back pain patients

NCT ID NCT04542720

Summary

This study compares two surgical approaches for people who develop new back pain at a level adjacent to a previous spinal fusion. Researchers want to determine whether a simpler decompression surgery or a more complex decompression with additional fusion provides better outcomes. The trial will enroll 96 adults who had previous spinal fusion surgery and now have persistent symptoms despite non-surgical treatments.
