Real-Time Accurate Pathology Inspection and Decompression Study

An observational study in Spine Injuries and Disorders, Pain, Chronic and Pain, Back, sponsored by KM Clinical Research Group. Withdrawn at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-04-26.

Chronic Pain
Why
  1. Disease describes something many studies share rather than a condition a study is about.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Chronic Pain.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

The primary objective is changes in spine and lower limb pain following a laser-assisted neural decompression (LAND) procedure for the treatment of lumbar, thoracic, or cervical spine and/or extremity pain. Secondary objectives will be changes in quality of life, prescription pain medication use, and patient satisfaction with procedure outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Objectives The primary objective is changes in spine and lower limb pain following a laser-assisted neural decompression (LAND) procedure for the treatment of lumbar, thoracic, or cervical spine and/or extremity pain. Secondary objectives will be changes in quality of life, prescription pain medication use, and patient satisfaction with procedure outcomes.

Design and Outcomes This is a prospective observational study to determine the degree to which a laser-assisted neural decompression (LAND) procedure relieves spine and extremity pain. Subjects will have elected to have the procedure are part of their standard of care in treating their spine and/or leg pain. Subjects will complete a baseline survey and two follow-up surveys at 3-months and 12-months after their procedure date.

Interventions and Duration There will be no study intervention. Subjects will only be monitored and evaluated for pre- and post-operative pain, quality of life, satisfaction, and medication use. Subjects will be followed for 12 months following their LAND procedure.

Sample Size and Population This study will last for 4 years starting February 10, 2020. There will be no maximum subject population size. We aim for a minimum population size of 1,500 in order to give statistical significance with results.

Study population

Patients with a history of chronic spine and/or extremity pain that have tried at least 6 weeks of conservative care.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Prescribed spinal decompression procedure by their healthcare provider.
  • Previous conservative care such as physical therapy or chiropractic care that failed to provide adequate pain relief.
  • Willing and able to adhere to the protocol of the study including the survey timeline.
  • Between the ages of 18-85 years.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability or unwillingness to give written .
  • Not a candidate for the LAND procedure
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Interventions

  • Procedurelaser-assisted neural decompression (LAND) procedure

    The LAND procedure is a minimally invasive spinal decompression procedure that uses a focused laser beam to reduce and remove disc herniations that are causing nerve compressions and impingements within the spinal canal. It is performed in an outpatient setting and the patient receives local anesthesia. The LAND procedure has been performed extensively over the past 2-years on hundreds of patients, so including patients that have previously had the surgery allows for additional data points and improved reporting.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 26, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
