NCT00905359

Brief Summary

The objective of the NICE study is to provide clinical evidence proving that the Aperius™ PercLID™ System is safe and non-inferior to standalone decompressive surgery with regards to clinical outcomes in patients suffering from Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis with Neurogenic Intermittent Claudication, relieved by flexion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Mean Percentage Change From Baseline in Physical Function at 1 Year Follow-up Using the Patient Completed Zurich Claudication Questionnaire

    ZCQ is a validated outcomes instrument specific to lumbar spinal stenosis, and captures data in 3 distinct domains: Physical function (PF), Symptom Severity (SS), and post-treatment Patient Satisfaction (PS).PF score is the mean score of five physical function questions of ZCQ, ranging from 1 to 4. A lower score represents a better outcome/condition. Mean percentage change from baseline in Physical Function at 1 year follow-up was reported.

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Mean Percentage Change From Baseline in Physical Function, Using Patient Completed Zurich Claudication Questionnaire

    14 days, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 24 months

  • Mean Percentage of Change From Baseline in Symptom Severity of the Patient Completed Zurich Claudication Questionnaire

    14days, 6 week, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

  • Patient Satisfaction (PS) Scores of Zurich Claudication Questionnaire

    14 days, 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months

  • Mean Percentage Change of Visual Analog Scale (VAS) From Baseline in Leg Pain

    14 days, 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months

  • Mean Percentage Changes From Baseline in Quality of Life Using the Patient-completed SF-36 Questionnaire

    14 days, 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months

  • +9 more secondary outcomes
