New real-world findings support the effectiveness and use of ReActiv8® Restorative Neurostimulation™ to treat intractable chronic low back pain
November 23, 2022
DUBLIN–( BUSINESS WIRE )– Mainstay Medical Holdings plc today announced the publication of data from a real-world, single-center study with one-year clinical follow-up of patients from the ReActiv8®-C study. Patients who received ReActiv8 implants at Klinikum Itzehoe were sequentially included in this cohort if they had back pain ≥6 and no prior lumbar surgery. The one-year results, published in the journal World Neurosurgery , showed that the majority of the 44 patients who were followed had statistically significant improvements in pain (NRS), disability (ODI), and quality of life (EQ-5D-5L).
This interim analysis suggests that the response to ReActiv8 in these patients is sustained and benefits improve over time, consistent with both a restorative mechanism of action and results from the randomized clinical trial ReActiv8-B.
dr Med. Ardeshir Ardeshiri, Chief Physician, Spine Surgery Section, Trauma Surgery and Orthopedics Clinic, Klinikum Itzehoe, said: “These positive real-world data are consistent with the ReActiv8-B study, which is extremely important to me when introducing new technologies. I look forward to continuing to offer restorative neurostimulation with ReActiv8 to my patients with multifidus dysfunction resulting in chronic axial low back pain.”
Jason Hannon, CEO of Mainstay Medical said , “ These real-world results validate the restorative mechanism of action of ReActiv8, which addresses one of the leading causes of mechanical chronic low back pain, multifidus dysfunction. German physicians are among the early adopters of ReActiv8 and we look forward to making the therapy even more widely available to patients in this region.”
