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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looked at 72 people with lumbar stenosis who had decompression surgery to relieve leg and back pain. Researchers wanted to see if the surgery also improved their posture, specifically a forward-leaning stance. They used special X-ray imaging to measure changes in spine alignment and compared them to symptom reports. The goal was to learn more about how surgery affects both pain and posture.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
decompression surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors understand how spine surgery improves posture and guide better treatment for lumbar stenosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all patients, and no new therapy is being tested.

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: 1. Symptoms and signs of neurogenic claudication and radiological signs of central lumbar stenosis; 2. Patients undergoing open decompression surgery ≤ 3 levels, 3. All patients with symptoms that did not respond to at least 3 months of non-invasive treatment. Exclusion Criteria: Patients were excluded from the study if they had one or several of the following clinical and/or radiological criteria: 1. spondylolisthesis (disc slip \> 5 mm), 2. criteria showing instability (variation of \> 10° in the angle formed by the vertebral endplates on dynamic images). 3. scoliosis (Cobb angle \> 20 °). 4. Patients lost to follow-up were excluded.
