Recruiting studies near Los Angeles
- NCT07222787Recruiting
Testing a new spinal implant for lower back fusion
This trial tests a new spinal implant system (CORUS-LX) for fusing two lower back discs that are causing pain. It is meant for people with severe, long-lasting back or leg pain that hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05701059Recruiting
Tests different artificial discs for neck nerve and spinal cord problems
This trial compares two types of artificial disc implants used for certain neck problems. It may help people who have tried non-surgical treatments but still have ongoing nerve symptoms or spinal cord issues from a damaged disc in the neck.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT04042844RecruitingPhase 2
Single injection treatment for chronic low back disc pain
This Phase 2 study tests whether one injection of BRTX 100 can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic, disc-related low back pain. It looks for whether the treatment is safe and works better than what you’ve already tried.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06778447Recruiting
Disc injection for chronic low back pain
This study tests whether injecting a special disc material (nucleus pulposus allograft) into the damaged discs of your lower back can safely reduce pain and improve function. It's for people with long-term, moderate to severe low back pain from disc disease that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 22–85 - NCT07254806RecruitingPhase 3
Cell therapy for low back pain from disc disease
This study tests if injecting a special cell therapy into a damaged spinal disc can reduce chronic low back pain. It is for people who have had low back pain for at least 6 months and haven't gotten enough relief from other treatments like physical therapy or pain medication.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06011551Recruiting
Gel injection for painful lumbar discs
This trial tests a gel (HYDRAFIL-D) injected into painful discs in your lower back to see if it relieves pain. It's for people whose back pain hasn't improved with other treatments.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 22–85 - NCT04418830Enrolling by invitation
Study of a spine cage implant for degenerative back problems
This trial studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
Los Alamitos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05329129Recruiting
Spine surgery registry to track recovery with bone graft
This study follows people who are having spinal fusion surgery using an OssDsign bone graft. It collects health and scan information over time to better understand recovery and outcomes after surgery.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT04689854Enrolling by invitation
Cervical spine surgery implant study for neck disc problems
This trial studies specific neck (cervical) spine implants used during surgery for degenerative disc disease or neck instability, along with a particular kind of bone grafting and supporting hardware. It may help patients by testing whether these devices and the planned fusion approach work safely and effectively in real-world surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04770571Enrolling by invitation
Study of posterior neck and upper-back spine fixation systems
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04679844Recruiting
Test bone putty for back fusion versus bone graft alternatives
This study compares a ready-to-use bone putty to standard bone graft materials (with or without your own bone) during back fusion surgery for unstable lower back problems. It looks at whether the putty works as well or better to help the bones fuse and heal.

What taking part in a degenerative disc disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
