Study of a new neck surgery for spinal stenosis
This study is looking at a new, less invasive neck surgery for people with cervical spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck). It tests whether this surgery helps relieve symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.
San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo LeónAges 18–74 - NCT04381663Enrolling by invitation
Tracking symptoms in degenerative neck spine narrowing
This study follows adults with degenerative narrowing in the neck spine to see how symptoms and function change over time. It may help doctors better understand which patients improve or worsen, and why.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT05786313Recruiting

Study links surgery outcomes to test results in cervical spine disease
This study looks at how measurements from symptoms, exams, and MRI results relate to recovery after a specific type of neck surgery (“single open-door” surgery). It may help doctors better predict who is more likely to do well after this operation.
Xi'an, Shannxi ProvinceAges 18–86 - NCT05895968Recruiting
Barbed Suture for Obese Patients Having Neck Surgery
This trial tests a special type of stitch (called barb suture) used during back-of-neck surgery. It is for people who are obese and need surgery for cervical spinal problems, to see if it helps recovery.
Xi'an, Shannxi ProvinceAges 28–85 - NCT06867809Recruiting
Spinal and brain stimulation for arm movement after neck injury
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07615491Recruiting
Safety and effectiveness study of spinal implants and bone materials
This study tracks how well spinal implants (Titania systems) and bone-filling materials (BONEGRAFT) work after surgery and whether patients experience any problems. Researchers will follow patients after cervical or lower spine surgery to confirm these devices are safe and effective in real-world use.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT05066711Enrolling by invitation
Study of a neck surgery implant for adults
This trial looks at using a specific implant system during planned front-of-the-neck surgery (C2 to C7) for common neck problems like disc degeneration, injury, or spinal narrowing. It may help doctors compare outcomes with this particular hardware and surgical approach.
Naperville, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05681936Recruiting
Brain and spine scans after spinal cord injury or related conditions
This study uses brain and spine scans (and possibly nerve stimulation in some cases) to understand how the nervous system changes after spinal cord injury or certain spinal conditions. It may help researchers better track recovery and understand which changes are linked to symptoms like bladder problems.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06475365Enrolling by invitation
Salt water gargling after neck surgery to help swallowing
This study tests whether gargling with salt water after multi-level neck fusion surgery can improve swallowing recovery. If you are having this surgery, the trial aims to find a simple, low-cost way to protect your swallowing function.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06528730Recruiting
Study on new surgical guidelines for cervical myelopathy in Chinese patients
This trial is testing a new set of surgical criteria for people of Chinese ethnicity with a condition called degenerative cervical myelopathy (a spinal cord problem in the neck). It aims to see if these criteria can better identify who should have surgery.
Hong KongAges 45 years+ - NCT07762170RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid injections for back and pelvic pain
This study is testing how well and how safely steroid injections work for different types of back pain. If you join, you'll receive the injection as part of your care and fill out surveys about your pain and ability to do daily activities before and after.
Thornhill, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05665998Recruiting
Brain-controlled spinal stimulation for arm rehab after neck injury
This study tests a brain-controlled spinal stimulation approach to improve arm (upper limb) movement after a neck spinal cord injury. It may help people who have very limited arm function after a stable, traumatic injury, using frequent training and device-related checks.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–75 - NCT06591442Enrolling by invitation
Spinal Fusion Recovery in Older Adults
This study is looking at how older adults recover after spinal fusion surgery, a type of back surgery that connects bones in the spine. The goal is to find factors that help people heal faster and feel better afterward.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 60 years+ - NCT07627282Recruiting
Understanding spine care evolution and patient outcomes
This study follows patients visiting a spine surgery department to better understand how care is provided and how patients do over time. It helps doctors improve treatment for spine problems like degeneration, deformity, injury, infection, or tumors.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05756894Recruiting
Stimulation therapy to improve breathing after spinal cord injury
This trial studies a neurostimulation approach to help breathing problems after a spinal cord injury. You may be able to join if you have a certain type and level of spinal cord injury and breathing weakness, and you can safely attend study visits with caregiver support.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT06089746Recruiting
Posture therapy for older veterans with spinal stenosis
This trial tests a non-invasive posture therapy for older veterans with lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing in the lower spine). It aims to reduce pain and improve walking without surgery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 55–80 - NCT05356286Recruiting
Recording spinal cord stimulation and monitoring during surgery
This study records what happens when doctors use spinal cord monitoring and stimulation during brain or spinal cord surgery. It may help improve how safely these procedures are performed in the future.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05110833Enrolling by invitation
Study dosing effects during monitored neck or chest spine surgery
This trial studies whether different medication dosing during monitored neck or upper chest spine surgery leads to better outcomes. You might help doctors figure out the most effective dosing approach for this type of surgery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001969Enrolling by invitation
Percutaneous facet spine fixation for instability
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure to fix unstable vertebrae in the neck or lower back using a small incision. It may help people with spinal instability causing nerve symptoms or pressure on the spinal cord.
Cairo, ShoroukAges Any age - NCT06000319Enrolling by invitation
NMP fibers for spine fusion surgery
This study tests a new material called NMP fibers used during spine fusion surgery to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis. The goal is to see how well it works for patients having fusion in the neck or lower back.
Jasper, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04631471RecruitingPhase 3
Ibudilast for spinal cord pressure from neck wear
This Phase 3 study tests ibudilast, a medicine, to see if it can improve symptoms in people whose neck arthritis has started compressing the spinal cord. You would still have your usual surgery to relieve the pressure, and then take the study medicine to see if recovery and function improve.
CambridgeAges 18–80 - NCT05745129Enrolling by invitation
AI tool for personalized care decisions in spine problems
This trial looks at using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to help guide care choices for people with spine problems. It may help doctors assess whether you need surgery or a different approach, especially when disc herniation isn’t the main issue.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cervical spinal stenosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting cervical spinal stenosis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cervical spinal stenosis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cervical spinal stenosis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
