Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Patient is skeletally mature and has at least moderate impairment in function, experiences relief in flexion from his/her symptoms of leg/buttocks/groin pain, with or without back pain, and has undergone at least 6 months of non-operative treatment;
2. Patient is treated surgically at 1 or 2 contiguous lumbar motion segments with the coflex Interlaminar Device from L1-L5 after decompression of stenosis at the affected level(s), where such use is not contraindicated as noted below.

Exclusion Criteria
