Assessment Of Clinical Effectiveness, Security And Correlation With Radiological Changes In Patients With Lumbar Stenosis Treated With Epiduroscopy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Epiduroscopy for Spinal Stenosis, Lumbar Region, With Neurogenic Claudication. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It will be done a prospective Study involving 38 patients with lumbar stenosis. A magnetic resonance (MR) imaging study and a electromyographic study will be done previously and 3 months after the epiduroscopy to confirm radiologic or neurophysiological changes. During the technic it will be used different instruments, an endoscope developed for its use in the epidural space (Resascope), a Fogarty balloon (Resaloon) to dilate the space near the epidural recess where it will be try to decrease the ligamentum flavum using the Resaflex, an instrument with Quantum Molecular Resonance for tissue coablation, in order to get less symptomatic lumbar stenosis. The investigators will compare qualitative and quantitative variables at baseline and 1, 3, 6, ant 12 months after the epiduroscopy.
