About this trial

The purpose of this study is to perform a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess the utility of IONM in patients undergoing primary, single or multilevel lateral spinal procedures. Subjects will be randomized to undergo a lateral spine surgery with the use of NeuroVision® IONM or conventional hospital based IONM to assess incidence of new-onset neurological injury.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients undergoing a primary single or multilevel lateral spinal surgery procedures for degenerative pathology Diagnosis: myelopathy, radiculopathy, myeloradiculopathy, central stenosis, foraminal stenosis herniated nucleus pulposus, degenerative disc disease, spondylosis, and osteophytic complexes

Patients able to provide informed consent

Disqualifiers

Active infection

Active or history of malignancy

Spinal traumatic injury within the past 2 years

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • NeuroVision® IONM

    Device

    Using NeuroVision® prior to surgery SSEP and tcMEP and values are recorded. A deficit of SSEP tracking is defined as an amplitude reduction of more than 10% or a latency increase more than 50%. Similarly, a CMAP amplitude reduction demonstrates problematic tcMEP monitoring.

  • Hospital Based IONM

    Device

    Using hospital based IONM prior to surgery SSEP and tcMEP and values are recorded. A deficit of SSEP tracking is defined as an amplitude reduction of more than 10% or a latency increase more than 50%. Similarly, a CMAP amplitude reduction demonstrates problematic tcMEP monitoring.
