Recruiting studies in Louisiana
- 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.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18–75 - NCT07017634RecruitingPhase 3
Novosis Putty for spine fusion in lumbar disc disease
This trial tests a new bone graft putty (Novosis Putty) used during a specific type of spine fusion surgery (TLIF) to treat a worn-out disc causing low back and leg pain. The goal is to see if it works as well as or better than current options.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 21–80 - NCT06778447Recruiting
Trial of disc tissue injection for degenerative disc disease
This study tests an experimental treatment that injects donated disc tissue (called an allograft) into damaged discs in your lower back. It's designed for people with chronic low back pain from disc degeneration who haven't found relief from non-surgical treatments.
Slidell, LouisianaAges 22–85 - 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.
Shreveport, LouisianaAges 22–85 - NCT06971835Enrolling by invitation
NanoParticle Matrix spine surgery registry
This study follows people who receive a special bone graft material called NanoParticle Matrix (NPM) during spine surgery. Researchers want to track outcomes over two years to see how well it works.

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.

Common questions
- Are there degenerative disc disease clinical trials in Louisiana?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting degenerative disc disease studies with a site in Louisiana, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a degenerative disc disease study in Louisiana?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Louisiana to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Louisiana, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a degenerative disc disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New degenerative disc disease studies open in Louisiana regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
