简要总结

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of RF ablation using the Intracept Intraosseous Nerve Ablation System to ablate intraosseous nerves for the relief of chronic axial low back pain. This is a prospective, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial with an optional crossover component.

  • Spondylolisthesis 2mm or greater at any level
  • Spondylolysis at any level
  • MRI evidence of Modic changes, Type I or Type II at greater than 3 vertebral bodies.

结局指标

主要结局

Change in ODI From Baseline to 3 Months Post-treatment

时间窗: 3 months

The primary variable is the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the primary efficacy endpoint is the mean improvement from baseline to 3 months in the ODI. The primary endpoint will be evaluated in both the treatment and sham groups with between-group comparisons used to assess the success of the Intracept System in reducing chronic axial low back pain. ODI is a patient questionnaire that assesses back dysfunction due to back pain. There are 10 questions that are scored from 0-5. The obtained score is multiplied by 2 to produce a percentage score that is reported on a scale of 0-100. Scores are interpreted as follows: 0-20% minimum disability; 21-40% moderate disability; 41-60% severe disability; 61-80% crippled; 81-100% bed bound or exaggerating their symptoms.

次要结局

  • Patient Success at 3 Months(3 months)
  • Change in ODI From Baseline to 6 Months Post-treatment(6 months)
