Trial Outcomes & Findings for Investigating Superion™ In Spinal Stenosis (NCT NCT00692276)

NCT ID: NCT00692276

Last Updated: 2020-11-16

Results Overview

Where clinically significant improvement in outcomes compared to baseline, as determined by meeting the following: * At least two of three domains of the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ) \[validated, condition-specific patient-reported questionnaire that captures data in three distinct domains\] * Improvement in physical function by ≥0.5 points * Improvement in symptom severity by ≥0.5 points * "Satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied" as defined by a score of ≤ 2.5 points on the patient satisfaction domain * No re-operations, revisions, removals or supplemental fixation at the index level(s) * No major implant- or procedure-related complications: * No dislodgement, migration, or deformation * No new or persistent worsened neurological deficit at the index level * No spinous process fractures * No deep infection, death, or other permanent device attributed disability * No clinically significant confounding treatments: * No epidural injections or nerve block proc
