Clinical Studies
  • Click here to contact us

The safety and efficacy of the IDET◊ procedure have been evaluated in a number of clinical studies. Highlights from these studies include:

  • In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, IDET◊ procedure patients had significantly greater reductions in visual analog scale (VAS) pain score and Oswestry disability scale.
  • In 6 prospective non-randomized studies, the proportion of patients with significant improvements in pain (using the VAS, SF-36, and other validated instruments) ranged from 45% to 67%.
  • In a multicenter study of 78 patients, 88% would definitely or probably choose the same treatment, and 61% were performing their jobs at 100% capacity vs 23% of patients prior to treatment.
