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)

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

Study Arms (2)
Aperius™ PercLID™ System
ACTIVE COMPARATORAperius™ PercLID™ System arm. Patients randomized to this arm will undergo treatment with the Aperius™ PercLID™ System.
Standalone Decompressive Surgery
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients randomized to this arm will receive Standalone Decompressive Surgery, defined as decompressive surgery without instrumentation or fusion.
Interventions
Aperius™ PercLID™ System: implantation with the Interspinous Process Device Aperius.
Lumbar decompressive surgery without instrumentation or fusion
