Study Using the SpinalStim Device Following Lumbar Fusion Surgery

September 14, 2022 updated by: Orthofix Inc.

A Multi-Center, Open-Label, Prospective Study of SpinalStim™ (MOP-SS) as Adjunctive Care Following Lumbar Fusion Surgery

This study examines the effect of adjunctive use of the SpinalStim bone growth stimulator on lumbar fusion rate in high risk subjects who have had lumbar fusion surgery. All participants will wear the bone growth stimulator for a minimum of 2 hours/day for 6 months.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this post market prospective study is to examine the effect of the adjunctive use of the Orthofix SpinalStim™ device on lumbar fusion rate in high risk subjects who have undergone lumbar fusion surgery. High risk subjects are those who are currently using nicotine, who are having a multi-level fusion, who have had a prior failed fusion at any lumbar level, who are diabetic or who are osteoporotic. Because this is a post market prospective study, subjects who are enrolled in this study will be identified by the Investigator as needing lumbar fusion surgery and asked if they would like to participate in a study looking at the efficacy of lumbar fusion with adjunctive use of the SpinalStim bone growth simulator. The type of lumbar fusion surgery performed (lateral lumbar interbody fusion [XLIF], posterior lumbar interbody fusion [PLIF], anterior lumbar interbody fusion [ALIF], posterolateral fusion) is up to the Investigator; the subjects in the study must be agreeable to using the bone growth stimulator daily for 6 months post surgery.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

subjects from all over the United States are eligible for enrollment as long as they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female, ≥ 18 years of age at the time of Informed Consent

  2. Requires a lumbar fusion surgery within 30 days of signing Informed Consent.

    a. Surgical approach is according to physician's discretion.

  3. Subject has one or more risk factors:

    • Is currently using nicotine
    • multi-level lumbar fusion surgery planned
    • Prior failed fusion at any lumbar level
    • Subject reported diabetes
    • Subject reported osteoporosis
  4. Body mass index ≤ 45 kg/m2 at the time of consent.
  5. Must have reliable access to an iPhone or an iPad with Wi-Fi access for downloading the free device-specific app (iPhone 5S or higher, iPad, iPad Pro, iPad mini or iTouch using iOS v9.3 or later). When the android version of the mobile app for the SpinalStim becomes available (estimated to be Dec. 2017), subjects who have reliable access to devices using android operating systems will be eligible for study inclusion.
  6. Able and willing to complete electronic questionnaires and able to read and understand study instructions in English
  7. Able and willing to comply with the study plan and able to understand and sign the study-specific ICF.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Scoliosis greater than 30 degrees
  2. Current alcoholism or drug abuse, and/or any known current addiction to pain medications or medical marijuana
  3. Any active malignancy or prior history of malignancy within last 5 years prior to fusion (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin).
  4. Any clinically significant finding that places the subject at health risk, impacts the study, or affects completion of the study, in the opinion of the Investigator
  5. Any psychiatric illness that prevents subject from completing the assessments accurately, in the opinion of the Investigator
  6. Prisoners.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
