Recruiting studies
- NCT04104412RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell injection study for long-lasting disc back pain
This Phase 1 study tests the safety and early effectiveness of an umbilical cord stem cell injection for people with persistent lumbar (lower back) disc-related pain that has not improved with standard care. If you qualify, it may offer a new treatment option, while researchers closely monitor side effects and pain changes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03415828Recruiting
Testing ethanol gel versus steroid gel for low back disc pain
This study compares two gels put on or into the painful disc area: an ethanol gel versus a steroid gel. It is for adults with long-lasting low back disc pain that did not improve with usual non-surgical care.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06825390Recruiting
Ear stimulation and brain imaging for chronic low back pain
This study tests if a non-invasive ear stimulation technique can change brain activity linked to chronic low back pain. You would have a brain scan before and after the treatment to see how your brain responds.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Košice, Košice RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07127380Recruiting
Comparing two types of spine surgery for disc-related low back pain
This study compares two different surgery methods (Mini-TLIF and MIDLIF) for treating low back pain caused by worn-out discs in the lower back. The goal is to see which one offers better recovery, fewer complications, and lower costs.
Lodz, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06778447Recruiting
Disc injection for chronic low back pain
This study tests whether injecting a special disc material (nucleus pulposus allograft) into the damaged discs of your lower back can safely reduce pain and improve function. It's for people with long-term, moderate to severe low back pain from disc disease that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
Napa, CaliforniaAges 22–85 - NCT06703671Recruiting
Acupuncture for disc-related low back pain
This trial tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can help people with low back pain caused by a damaged disc. If you have had back pain for at least a month and have not had certain other treatments recently, you may be eligible.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06661850Recruiting
Using Nociscan to guide discogenic low back pain surgery
This trial tests whether using a tool called Nociscan helps improve outcomes in people having surgery for low back pain caused by damaged discs. It may help doctors decide which discs need treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06611397Recruiting
Discogen study for lower back pain with leg pain
This trial tests a treatment called Discogen for people with lower back pain that also causes leg pain. It aims to see if the treatment helps reduce pain and improve function.
New York, New YorkAges 21–75 - NCT06860867Recruiting
Nucleus replacement for single-level discogenic low back pain
This trial tests a new device called PerQdisc for people with chronic low back pain from a single damaged disc in the lower spine. The goal is to see if the device can safely replace the inner gel of the disc without major surgery.
Glendale, ArizonaAges 22–70 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lumbar discogenic pain?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting lumbar discogenic pain 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 discogenic pain 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 discogenic pain 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.
