MILD® Percutaneous Image-Guided Lumbar Decompression: A Medicare Claims Study
This study is looking at people who have undergone MILD (Percutaneous Image-Guided Lumbar Decompression) or Interspinous Process Decompression for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS), a condition where the spinal canal narrows and presses on nerves. Researchers want to compare the rates of additional surgeries or minimally invasive procedures, as well as any problems that might occur, within 24 months after the initial MILD procedure. They will compare these results to a similar group of patients who received Interspinous Process Decompression. You may be eligible if you are a Medicare beneficiary who has received MILD or Interspinous Process Decompression for LSS and have not had certain spinal surgeries in the past 12 months. This study is currently enrolling patients.
