Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04204135Enrolling by invitation
Tracking hip flexor weakness after specific spine surgeries
This trial follows how hip flexor strength changes after two types of lower-back surgeries (ALIF or LLIF). It may help doctors better predict and prevent weakness in the hip and leg after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 65 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.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18–80 - NCT07830836Enrolling by invitation
Physiotherapy and osteopathy for recent neck, back, or jaw pain
This study tests whether physiotherapy and osteopathic treatment can help relieve recent (acute) pain in the neck, lower back, or jaw joint. It aims to understand if these hands-on therapies reduce pain and improve jaw function.
Gorzów Wielkopolski, Lubusz VoivodeshipAges 20–40 - 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+ - NCT06075979Recruiting
Microbes and spine health: a surgical study
This study looks at whether certain microbes (tiny living things) are linked to spine problems like herniated discs or narrow spinal canals. It involves people who need spine surgery, and the findings might help explain why some spines wear out faster.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT07837427Recruiting
Different water pressures during minimally invasive back surgery
This study compares two different water pressures used during a minimally invasive back surgery to see if one causes fewer complications and gives the surgeon a clearer view. It aims to help improve recovery and surgical outcomes for people with lower back problems.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for disc disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 82 recruiting disc 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 disc 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 disc 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.
