    Default Spinal Kinetics M6 trail patients, where are they to comment???

    Hello members,

    I just got off the phone with Olympia Medical Center and I spoke to Dr. Lauryssen's assistant about the clinical trail that I had read about. She said that the study was a "pilot trail study" and that it had ended quickly due to the economy and lack of US interest.

    Does anybody on this forum know of anyone that has had the M6 implanted in the US?

    Thanks,
    Ralph

    HI Ralph

    The M6 is not approved by the FDA or is it in any trials yet, as my understanding it is only available in Spain, Germany and the UK.

    Gil,

    They seized the "pilot trail study" for lack of funding....

    I spoke to the assistant of doctors Carl Lauryssen's office at Olympia Medical Center and they confirmed this:.
