What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial investigates whether barbed sutures are a safe and effective way to close deep tissue incisions in obese patients undergoing posterior cervical spine surgery. Researchers will measure changes in spinal function, neck disability, and pain levels, as well as monitor for wound infections. The study aims to provide evidence for wider use of barbed sutures in this specific patient group.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
barbed suture used to close deep fascia during posterior cervical surgery
What this could lead to
If barbed sutures prove safe and effective, they could become a standard option for closing surgical incisions in obese patients, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early exploratory study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Barbed sutures could carry risks like infection or wound breakdown.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Symptoms and signs of the patients were typical. MRI showed single or multiple central herniation of C3-C7 intervertebral discs or spinal stenosis at corresponding levels, which confirmed cervical myeloid cervical spondylosis or cervical spinal stenosis. * Preoperative routine tests and examinations showed no contraindications. * BMI≥28 * Informed consent was obtained from the patient and his family, informed consent was signed, and a complete follow-up was completed after surgery. Exclusion Criteria: * A history of wasting diseases associated with malignancy and chemoradiotherapy that may interfere with wound healing * History of dermatosis * History of immune system diseases * History of blood diseases * Skin injury or defect at the back of the neck * Severe hypersensitivity * Cold, fever, trauma or other infections in the week before surgery * Infectious disease * Psychosis could not cooperate with follow-up
