The MOTION Study - Treatment of LSS With the MILD Procedure

September 30, 2024 updated by: Vertos Medical, Inc.

A Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Study of the Vertos MILD Procedure With Conventional Medical Management Versus Conventional Medical Management Alone in the Treatment of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis.

Prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical study examining functional improvement in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) patients with neurogenic claudication who are treated with the MILD procedure plus conventional medical management (CMM) compared to those treated with CMM alone, as the control. Subjects in the control group are able to crossover and receive MILD after completion of 12-month follow-up. The study will provide objective functional improvement data for patients treated with the mild Procedure as first-line therapy in a real-world setting.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

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

50 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients experiencing neurogenic claudication symptoms for at least 3 months duration.
  • LSS with neurogenic claudication
  • Radiologic evidence of LSS with unilateral or bilateral ligamentum flavum ≥ 2.5mm confirmed by pre-op MRI or CT performed within 12 months of baseline visit.
  • Patients with comorbid conditions commonly associated with spinal stenosis, such as osteophytes, facet hypertrophy, minor spondylolisthesis (Grade I without instability), foraminal stenosis, and/or disk protrusion may be included unless the treating physician has determined that the condition is too advanced.
  • Stable opioid intake with no change during 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • Available to complete all follow-up visits.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • ODI Score < 31 (0-100 ODI Scale).
  • NPRS Score < 5 (0-10 NPRS Scale).
  • Lumbar epidural injections during eight weeks prior to study enrollment.
  • Baseline analgesic medication greater than 90 milligram morphine equivalent (MME).

Other: Conventional Medical Management (CMM)
CMM can include physical therapy, home exercise, pain medication, epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and other lumbar steroid injections.
Active Comparator: CMM alone
Patient in the CMM alone group can have physical therapy, home exercise, pain medication, epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and other lumbar steroid injections.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)
Time Frame: Mean Change in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) baseline to 12 month
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is a widely-used validated questionnaire use to measure a patient's functional disability. The total score ranges from 0 (no disability) - 100 (complete disability). Score categories: 0-20 (minimal disability), 21-40 (moderate disability), 41-60 (severe disability), 61-80 (crippling back pain), 81-100 (bed bound or have an exaggerating).
Mean Change in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) baseline to 12 month

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change in Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Time Frame: 12 Month
NPRS measures pain intensity on scale of 0 to 10. Zero (0) represents 'no pain' and '10' represents the "worst pain imaginable".
12 Month
Mean Change in Zurich Claudication Questionaire (ZCQ)
Time Frame: 12month
ZCQ quantifies severity of symptoms, physical function characteristics, and patient's satisfaction after treatment. Symptom severity scale (1-5), Physical function scale (1-4), Patient's satisfaction (1-4). The lower the score the better.
12month
Walking Tolerance Test
Time Frame: 12 month
Subjects will walk at their own desired pace, and time to symptoms will be recorded.
12 month
