Degenerative Disc Disease clinical trials in Missouri
We’re tracking 6 recruiting degenerative disc disease studies with a site in Missouri — including Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Missouri
- 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.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–75 - 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.
Columbia, MissouriAges 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.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 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.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT03649490Enrolling by invitation
Testing new spinal implant materials for XLIF fusion
This study compares different advanced materials used in a specific spinal fusion surgery (XLIF). It aims to see which implant material helps the bone fuse well and safely over time.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–80 - 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.

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 Missouri?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 6 recruiting degenerative disc disease studies with a site in Missouri, 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 Missouri?
- 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 Missouri to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Missouri, 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 Missouri regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
