Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the DIAM spinal stabilization system in reducing back pain, disability, and improving patient quality of life over 24 months, comparing it to standard herniectomy treatment.
- Out of 165 patients, 146 with single-level disc herniation were randomized into two groups: one received the DIAM system along with surgery, while the other underwent surgery alone; both groups showed significant improvements in pain and disability, but no major differences between them were found.
- Despite a higher percentage of patients in the DIAM group achieving minimal clinical importance in back pain relief, overall outcomes and complication rates were similar for both treatments, indicating equivalent efficacy and safety.
