Two-year study results indicate that decompression plus use of the coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization® device may enhance the procedure’s durability and sustainability vs. decompression alone.
ESCADA (European Study of coflex And Decompression Alone) is a 225-patient prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center trial comparing decompression alone to decompression with coflex to treat lumbar spinal stenosis. Two-year follow up included 91% of patients.
Further results indicated that:
- Patients who received decompression alone experienced significantly more loss of disc height vs. the coflex group
- The decompression alone group experienced 228% more subsequent steroid injections vs. the coflex group
- At 24 months, the decompression alone group was 1.4x more likely to be taking opioids vs. the coflex group
The results continue to build out Paradigm Spine’s body of clinical data supporting coflex.
