Clinical Studies of the IDET◊ Procedure
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.
