Spinal Stenosis and Listhesis Treated With Percutaneous Interspinous Spacer: a Non-surgical Trial
Sponsor: University of Roma La Sapienza
Summary
Symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis is the most common indication for spinal surgery. However, more than one-third of the patients undergoing surgery for lumbar stenosis report dissatisfaction with the results. On the other hand, conservative treatment has shown positive results in some cases. This trial will compare the outcomes of surgical versus non-surgical treatment for lumbar stenosis.
