CONCLUSIONS
Low-quality evidence from a small randomized study might suggest that dynamic lumbar stabilization with interspinous devices, when compared with non-surgical treatments, could improve pain control at two years in patients with a narrow spinal canal.
High-quality evidence shows that dynamic stabilization with interspinous devices, when compared with standard surgical treatments, does not provide additional benefits in terms of pain control, functionality or quality of life in the treatment of patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.
Moderate-quality evidence suggests that adding dynamic stabilization post- microdiscectomy would not improve pain control or functionality when compared with standard microdiscectomy in patients with lumbar herniated disc. The use of these devices would produce an increased number of postoperative complications and reoperations.
With the exception of a public sponsor from a high-income country that covers this technology in selected cases, the rest of the public and private sponsors consulted do not cover it for dynamic lumbar stabilization with interspinous devices for any indication.
The clinical practice guidelines surveyed do not recommend using dynamic lumbar stabilization with interspinous devices for degenerative conditions or of those of the spinal disc.
No cost-effectiveness or budgetary-impact studies have been found regarding this technology in Argentina. However, its cost is high compared with that of the standard treatment, with no associated significant benefits versus the usual comparators; therefore it would not be cost-effective in Argentina.
