Comparing outcomes of lumbar disc herniation surgery with and without DIVA® implant
Official title: Clinical Follow-up of the DIVA® Device in Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery
Run by SC Medica · NCT05277818 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether using the DIVA® implant during surgery for a herniated disc helps patients recover better and reduces the need for more surgeries compared to those who don't get the implant.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults who have undergone surgery for a degenerative or traumatic mono-segmental lumbar disc herniation and have been operated on for at least 12 months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of spinal pathologies, malformations, or previous surgeries on the spine may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the DIVA® implant in patients who have undergone surgery for lumbar disc herniation. It will compare the performance of care between those who received the DIVA® implant and those who did not, focusing on reoperation rates for any cause, excluding trauma. The study is multicentric and will follow patients for at least 12 months post-surgery to gather longitudinal data on their outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the effectiveness of the DIVA® implant, potentially improving surgical outcomes for patients with lumbar disc herniation.
How similar studies have gone: While this study is observational and focuses on a specific device, similar studies evaluating surgical outcomes with different implants have shown varying degrees of success.
