Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| No inflammation at the site of injection, anaphylactic reaction, neurological deficit, elevation of serum markers, or worsening of pain. No increase in stiffness, no change in alignment of the spine, no reduction in the nerve root mobility, no reduction in the distance covered in a ten minute walk test pre and post implantation.Timepoint: 1, 6, 12 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| ? Improvement in self-assessment scores (modified ODI, RMDQ & VAS) in comparison to pre-implantation scores. ? MRI shows better hydration compared to the pre-surgery MRI. Timepoint: 6, 12 months | — |
