NCT04688281

Brief Summary

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Medicurtain®, an antiadhesion barrier in patients who underwent In Situ Decompression for single level and unilateral herniated lumbar intervertebral disc. Subjects were randomly assigned either into Medicurtain® treatment group or control group. Adhesion formations between the two groups at 12 weeks after surgery were compared by using MRI-applied scar score, ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) and VAS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison of the average score of total MRI scar score evaluated by the independent evaluator after 12 weeks of the index surgery.

    The intervertebral disc is divided into 5 consecutive axial sections and these 5 levels are divided into quadrant. Degree of peridural fibrosis is scaled by scar grading scale in 0\~4 point range. (Total 20 score system) \*Area of quadrant filled with scar: no scar = 0 point, 0%\~25% = 1 point, 25%\~50% = 2 point, 50%\~75% = 3 point, 75%\~100% = 4 point

    Week 12

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Comparison of the highest score of total MRI scar score evaluated by the independent evaluator after 12 weeks of the index surgery.

    Week 12

  • Comparison of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) final score for overall satisfaction with the surgery

    Week 12

  • Comparison of Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for overall satisfaction with the surgery

    Week 12

Other Outcomes (4)

  • The incidence rate of adverse events

    follow up to 12 weeks

  • The incidence rate of treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE)

    follow up to 12 weeks

  • The incidence rate of adverse device event

    follow up to 12 weeks

  • +1 more other outcomes
