Study Summary

This trial will test whether a walking program can improve the quality of life and functional status of patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, post-surgery.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-90 who have had surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis and are experiencing persistent leg pain or discomfort. They must not have had previous spine surgeries, significant other health issues like heart or nerve diseases, or physical injuries that would stop them from walking regularly.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a walking program's effectiveness on life quality and function in post-surgery lumbar spinal stenosis patients. Participants will start the program at either 2 or 3 months after surgery to compare improvements using pain scales, disability questionnaires, activity tracking devices, and step counts.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a walking program as an intervention rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related responses such as muscle soreness or fatigue but should be minimal.
