Awards & highlights

Study Summary

This trial will explore whether surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis leads to increased physical activity. A control group will be measured for comparison.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have been clinically diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and confirmed to need surgery by a spine surgeon. Participants should be pre-surgical but require the operation as determined through diagnostic imaging and clinical history.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to determine if surgical intervention for LSS leads to increased physical activity post-surgery. It involves comparing the activity levels of patients before and after surgery, against a control group not undergoing surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not detailed in this summary, typical risks associated with surgical interventions may include pain at the incision site, infection, bleeding, or complications related to anesthesia.
