Feasibility of Prehab for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

NCT05073081 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 37

Summary

The literature has shown evidence of the effectiveness of prehabilitation programs on post-operative recovery for musculoskeletal conditions; however, evidence for prehabilitation for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is limited. Investigators have found that there is very low to low quality evidence for the effect of prehabilitation interventions for improving outcomes following lumbar spine surgery. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to determine the feasibility of a prehabilitation program for patients undergoing LSS surgery, and pilot test the protocol to provide the foundation for future design of a larger, multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Conditions
