Hi,
No, it is not out of trials yet, but FDA has given Dr. Pauza the go ahead to do some outside of the trial protocol. Mine was done outside the trial. Geoff, Fibrin is a sealant that is injected into a torn disk and it seals or glues it back together and raises the disk height back up to normal. Google Spinal Restoration or Kevin Pauza, M.D. and you will be able to read a little bit more about it.
Best wishes,
Linda

Phylly,
I forgot to say, yes, I did have to have a discogram done. In addition to the normal discogram I had a FAD (Functional Anesthetic Discogram) done to determine that L3/4 was my problem.
Best wishes on your recovery!
Linda
