Study Purpose

  • The coflex®COMMUNITY study is an observational study for real-conditions-of-use patients treated with the coflex device for lumbar spinal stenosis. This prospective, non-randomized study will be conducted by SPIRITT in conjunction with surgeons at centers across the United States who have an interest in research about their patients’ outcomes with coflex.
  • Using validated questionnaires in a unique electronic format, SPIRITT will collect patient-reported outcomes preoperatively and at scheduled time points out to five years postoperatively. This study will also collect surgeon-reported data pre-operatively, intra-operatively, and at any post-operative office visits.

 

Patient Eligibility

Surgeons participating in the coflex®COMMUNITY study will determine the eligibility of their coflex patients based on the study protocol, and will offer eligible patients the opportunity to participate.
