Official title
Prospective Evaluation of Mechanomyography Versus Triggered Electromyography for Intraoperative Assessment of Cortical Breaches During Instrumented Lumbar Spine Surgery
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to determine how well mechanomyography (MMG) and electromyography (EMG) prevent cortical bone breaches, or the pinching of a nerve from screw placement, in patients having lower back surgery requiring hardware. Both MMG and EMG are devices approved by the FDA to detect the location of nerves during surgery so they can be avoided. The results from both tests will be compared to one another to determine if one is better at accurately locating nerves than the other.
