NCT ID NCT02192112
Summary
This study tested a new method to monitor nerve function during surgery for degenerative lower back disc disease. Researchers placed electrodes on the skin over the lower back to stimulate nerves and recorded muscle responses in the legs. The goal was to see if this approach was practical and could provide consistent information to help surgeons avoid nerve damage during the procedure.
