Recruiting studies
- NCT05070078Recruiting
Assessing recovery after lumbar disc surgery using SANE
This study uses a simple recovery questionnaire called SANE to understand how people do after lumbar discectomy (surgery to relieve a slipped or herniated disc). It may help the care team measure recovery in a clearer, more consistent way.
Windsor, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07060846Recruiting
Endoscopic vs open disc surgery for people with diabetes
This study compares two types of surgery for a herniated disc in the lower back in patients with diabetes. The goal is to see if a less invasive (endoscopic) procedure works as well or better than traditional open surgery.
DamiettaAges 18–75 - NCT07413302Recruiting
Predicting recovery after back surgery for leg weakness
This study looks at which factors before surgery help predict how well leg weakness improves after a single-level microdiskectomy (minimally invasive back surgery for a slipped disk). It may help you understand what to expect if you are having this procedure.
KavalaAges 18 years+ - NCT07250581Recruiting
Disc repair surgery with removal for herniated disc: a comparison
This trial compares two types of surgery for a herniated disc in the lower back: one that only removes the damaged disc piece (discectomy), and another that also repairs the disc outer wall. It aims to see if adding the repair leads to better long-term results.
QingdaoAges 12–65 - NCT04182997RecruitingPhase 4
Epidural steroid shot during discectomy for back nerve pain
This trial studies whether giving a steroid medicine into the epidural space during discectomy (back surgery for a herniated disc) helps reduce nerve pain and symptoms. It is mainly for people whose MRI and exam show a single-level lumbar disc herniation after non-surgical treatments didn’t help.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06719037Recruiting
Comparing two spine surgeries for lower back narrowing
This study compares two different surgical techniques – one using a small camera (endoscopic discectomy) and the other a traditional open approach (microdiscectomy) – to treat narrowing in the lower spine. It helps find which method may be better for relieving pain and improving function.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT05033457Enrolling by invitation
Compare two treatments for lumbar spinal canal narrowing
This trial compares two approaches (UBE and PETD) for relieving nerve pressure caused by a single-level problem in the lower spine. It may help reduce pain and nerve symptoms by treating the narrowed spinal canal or disc-related compression.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges Any age - NCT07418944Recruiting
Surgery vs. non-surgery for leg pain from a slipped disc
This trial compares surgery to non-surgical treatments for people with leg pain caused by a lumbar disc herniation (slipped disc). It tests if surgery provides better relief after at least 6 weeks of symptoms.
HelsinkiAges 18–60 - NCT07338877Enrolling by invitation
Stem cell therapy for disc-related low back pain
This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own stem cells to help heal damaged discs in your lower back. The stem cells are injected into the disc during a minimally invasive procedure to reduce pain and improve function.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lumbar discectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9 recruiting lumbar discectomy 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 lumbar discectomy 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 lumbar discectomy 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.
