Study Summary

This single-group cross-sectional cohort study will enroll approximately 25 patients at the North Texas VA Health Care System (VANTHCS) who have previously received off-label prescriptions of misoprostol for lumbar spinal stenosis for any duration and who are willing to provide verbal and informed consent. Patients will answer a questionnaire regarding pain and functional improvement especially in reference to misoprostol treatment. Patients will also be selected to have their walking tolerance (claudication distance) measured in an outpatient clinic setting to determine the severity of their lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms after having received misoprostol.

Primary Outcome

The SSSQ quantifies severity of symptoms, physical function characteristics, and patient's satisfaction after treatment.
