Detection of Bacteria in Herniated Nucleus Material in Lumbar Disc Herniations by Culture and PCR

NCT02385968 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 5

Last updated 2024-07-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim is to investigate if herniated nucleus material in lumbar disc herniations is infected with bacteria, and if so, to determine their prevalence (control group), and to determine if patients with pre-existing Modic changes type 1 have a higher incidence of bacterial growth in relevant lumbar disc samples than patients without Modic changes.

A cohort of 15 patients with pre-existing Modic and 15 without-undergoing primary surgery will be examined.
