What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compared four minimally invasive procedures—vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, stentoplasty, and thermal facet ablation—for treating pain from vertebral compression fractures. Researchers enrolled 1000 adults with chronic back pain due to these fractures. The goal was to see which method provides the best pain relief shortly after the procedure and at two months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bone cement (polymethyl methacrylate) and radiofrequency heat
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the most effective minimally invasive procedure for quickly relieving pain from spinal compression fractures.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, so results are available, but individual outcomes may vary. The procedures carry risks like infection, cement leakage, or nerve damage.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \>18 years-old * Subjects who are able to give informed consent and to understand and comply with study requirements. * Predominantly axial back and low back pain ≥ 1 month in duration with no radicular pain below the knee that failed to conservative therapy. * Subjects who have chronic back pain attributed to vertebral compression fractures (AO Spine A1 or A2 fractures) based on clinical evaluation (CT or MRI). Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects who decline to provide written consent or follow-up. * Subjects who are pregnant. * Subjects with bleeding disorders or active anticoagulation that cannot be stopped for few days close to the time of the procedure. * Subjects who have an active systemic or local infection. * Patients who have other specific etiology of low back pain (e.g. significant spinal canal stenosis or grade 2 or 3 spondylolisthesis). * Secondary gain (i.e., ongoing litigation, worker's compensation or other financial incentives) * Psychopathology including depression, somatization or poor coping skills * Physical factors including non-sedentary lifestyle, e.g.; morbid obesity (BMI \> 35kg/m2). * History of previous Radiofrequency Ablation at the same level(s) in the previous 12 months. * History of previous Vertebroplasty at the same level(s) in the previous 12 months.
