Misoprostol for Spinal Stenosis

NCT04611464 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

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.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04611464

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04611464 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 23 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Dallas VA Medical Center, which has 4 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 2 conditions, with Low Back Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Misoprostol is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04611464 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
