Effect of NSAIDs on a blood marker (serum periostin) in people with back disc problems

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines whether NSAID use is associated with changes in serum periostin among individuals with intervertebral disc disease. Participants have lumbar disc herniation or lumbar spinal canal stenosis and have MRI-documented disc problems. The study does not assign treatments but observes existing NSAID use and biomarker results to explore a potential link, contributing to understanding of inflammation and disc degeneration. Details on study design, cohort size, and analytic methods are not provided in the available information. The lead site is in Daegu, South Korea, with Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center as the sponsor.
