Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Low back pain is a common pathology in the general population. In people over 60 years of age, it is associated with degenerative changes that cause narrowing of the vertebral canal. Its treatment includes conservative measures and even surgery with decompression and fusion. In those patients with moderate symptoms, the use of interspinous spacers emerged as a minimally invasive therapeutic option. This scoping review seeks to map the existing literature on the use of interspinous spacers and identify knowledge gaps to clarify their real position in the stepwise approach to low back pain.
