Recruiting studies
- NCT03514524Enrolling by invitation
PET-MRI brain scans for recent injury, stroke, or mild memory changes

Study of 3D printed tools for eating independence in rehab
This study tests whether using 3D printed tools can help people with neurodegenerative diseases eat more independently during their hospital stay. It focuses on patients who already need some help with meals, and aims to see if custom-made utensils or aids can give them more autonomy.
Hyères, VarAges 18 years+ - NCT07587775Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Osteoporosis Medication Effects on Spine Bone Quality
This study tests how a bone-strengthening medication called Abaloparatide affects the quality of bones in your lower spine. Researchers will use imaging scans to see if the medication helps improve bone strength in people with osteoporosis who also have spine wear-and-tear.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 50 years+ - NCT03586258Recruiting
Brain scan and memory testing for people with brain injury
This study uses memory and thinking tests along with brain scans (likely MRI) to understand how different types of brain damage affect thinking. It may help doctors learn more about brain-related cognitive problems.

Implanet Jazz spine fusion for adults needing thoracolumbar stabilization
This trial looks at using the Implanet Jazz system during spine fusion surgery for adults who need stabilization in the middle-to-lower back. It may help patients by improving how well the fused spine heals and stays in place.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–100 - NCT06965426Recruiting
Eye vitamins and skin test: a crossover study
This study tests whether a supplement containing lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin can increase the amount of these nutrients in your skin. You will take the supplement and a placebo at different times to see if there is a difference.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07552519Recruiting
Patient Outcomes in Spinal Disease Treatment
This study tracks how patients feel and function after receiving treatment for spinal disease (which may include procedures like spinal cord stimulation). Researchers want to understand what matters most to patients during their recovery.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07624630Recruiting
Brain Activity and Walking After Stroke
This study examines how your brain works when you walk and think at the same time after stroke. Researchers will use brain imaging to understand this process, which could help develop better rehabilitation strategies.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05971329Recruiting
Pilot study of bone graft for cervical disc wear and nerve symptoms
This trial tests a new bone graft product (ZetaFuse™) used during front-of-the-neck surgery to treat “wear and tear” in the cervical (neck) discs causing nerve problems. It may help relieve pain and nerve-related symptoms when other treatments haven’t worked.
Randwick, New South WalesAges 22–75 - NCT05655897Recruiting
Clips for leaky mitral valve in high-surgery-risk heart patients
This trial studies whether a device called GeminiOne can safely and effectively repair a leaky mitral valve using a catheter-based “clip” technique. It may help patients who have moderate-to-severe or severe valve leakage but are considered too high-risk for open surgery.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07790328Recruiting
Long-term safety of the IntraSPINE implant for low back pain
This study checks how safe and effective the IntraSPINE implant is over time for people with low back pain from degenerative discs. The implant is placed in your spine to support it, and this trial helps see if it continues working well for years.
SaranAges 18 years+ - NCT07059065Recruiting
New bone graft for spinal fusion surgery
This trial tests a new bone graft material called FIBERGRAFT Aeridyan for people needing spinal fusion to stabilize their lower back. It aims to see if it helps bones heal together safely and effectively.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05238740Recruiting
Compare fusion results after two spine surgeries with added biologics
This study compares two types of spine surgery (ALIF or XLIF) for one spinal level, and tests how well the bones fuse when a specific bone-forming product is used. It also looks at how patients feel and function after surgery.
BernAges 18–70 - NCT07199738Recruiting
Knee replacement study with a new implant option
This study tests a specific knee implant insert (LEGION Medial Stabilized) in people who need a total knee replacement due to arthritis or similar joint disease. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well over time.
Newton, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT05332249Recruiting
Registry for Degenerative Spine Disease in the Neck and Low Back
This study is a registry (a way to collect health information) for people with wear-and-tear (“degenerative”) problems in the neck and/or low back. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care plans.
Seoul, KoreaAges 18–100 - NCT06383962Recruiting
Synergy Disc cervical disc replacement outcomes study
This trial is for people who are getting or have already received a Synergy Disc implant to replace a damaged disc in the neck. It follows patients over time to see how well the disc performs in relieving nerve pain or spinal cord compression.
BirminghamAges 21 years+ - NCT06029764Recruiting
Extended fusion for spinal disc vacuum signs
This trial tests a surgery that fuses one extra spinal disc to treat a 'vacuum sign' (air pockets in the disc) that hasn't caused symptoms yet. It aims to prevent future problems in people with lumbar disc disease who need fusion surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT06953206Recruiting
Long-term study of a new heart valve for aortic stenosis
This study is testing a new heart valve called the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve for people with severe aortic stenosis. Researchers want to see how well it works and how safe it is over 10 years after a minimally invasive valve replacement procedure called TAVI.
Bad Oeynhausen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 22–85 - NCT05508360Recruiting
Testing an artificial spacer implant for one-level low back pain
This study tests whether inserting a small artificial implant into a single painful disc can reduce long-term low back pain and disability. It’s for people who tried non-surgical treatments for at least 6 months but still have significant symptoms from degenerative disc disease.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 22 years+ - NCT03048201Recruiting
Total Knee Replacement Registry Study for a Specific Knee Implant
This study tracks outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement using a specific knee implant system. It may help doctors understand which patients do best and how the implant performs over time.
Rancho Mirage, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT04388332Recruiting
Neck surgery compares two bone graft materials
This study compares two materials used during neck surgery for degenerative disc disease: donor bone (structural allograft) versus a titanium cage (Tritanium C). It aims to see which option works better for healing the fused neck bones and improving symptoms.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for degenerative disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 117 recruiting degenerative disease 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 degenerative disease 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 degenerative disease 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.
