DenizliAges 20–65 - NCT07026305Recruiting
Comparing surgical approaches for lumbar spinal stenosis
This study is comparing two surgical approaches for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the lower spine). It aims to see if a less invasive surgery works as well as a more extensive procedure, which may help patients recover faster.
MadridAges 50 years+ - NCT07026552Recruiting
Ligament study for lumbar spinal stenosis
This study looks at the ligament in your lower back to understand how lumbar spinal stenosis develops. It involves analyzing tissue samples and may help find better ways to treat this condition.
Rome, RMAges 50–85 - NCT07045714Recruiting
Endoscopic back surgery for spinal stenosis
This study looks at a newer, less invasive type of back surgery called endoscopic laminotomy. It may help people with lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) who still have leg or back pain after trying physical therapy and pain medicines for at least 3 months.
San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo LeónAges 18–74 - NCT07233798Recruiting
Dural pulsation in lumbar spinal stenosis
This study looks at a natural movement called dural pulsation (pulsing of the spinal sac) in people with lumbar spinal stenosis. It might help doctors understand the condition better and could lead to better treatments for your back or leg pain.
Pendik, IstanbulAges 18–85 - NCT07281625RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing two types of back surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis
This study compares two surgical approaches for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spine that puts pressure on nerves). One group will get standard decompression (relieving pressure), the other group will get that plus screws and rods to stabilize the spine. The goal is to see which leads to better outcomes.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–60 - NCT07348523Recruiting
Comparing two types of back pain blocks after lumbar spine surgery
This trial compares two ways of delivering a pain-blocking injection (erector spinae plane block) after a single-level lower back surgery. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain relief after surgery.
SamsunAges 18–70 - NCT07489001Recruiting
Comparing opioid-free to standard anesthesia for back surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia for lower back surgery: one that uses opioids and one that does not. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
Istanbul, MaltepeAges 18–75 - NCT07588555Recruiting
Two surgical approaches for lumbar spine narrowing
This trial compares two slightly different surgical techniques for treating lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal that causes leg pain). Both procedures fuse one level of your spine to relieve pain, but use slightly different approaches through the side of the spine.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 40–70 - NCT06591442Enrolling by invitation
Spinal Fusion Recovery in Older Adults
This study is looking at how older adults recover after spinal fusion surgery, a type of back surgery that connects bones in the spine. The goal is to find factors that help people heal faster and feel better afterward.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 60 years+ - 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 - NCT07007663Recruiting
Directional preference in lumbar spinal stenosis
This study looks at whether people with lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing in the lower spine) have a 'directional preference'—a specific movement or position that eases their symptoms. If you have leg or buttock pain when walking, this trial may help find better ways to treat your condition.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 48 years+ - NCT05452694Recruiting
Personalized pain relief after back fusion surgery
This trial tests a personalized plan to manage pain after lumbar (lower back) fusion and decompression surgery. It may help reduce difficult pain while guiding safe use of opioids around the time of surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–99 - NCT03072927Recruiting
Study of Medicare patients after mild back decompression
This study uses Medicare records to look at outcomes for people who receive MILD or an interspinous process decompression procedure for lumbar spinal stenosis with nerve symptoms. It may help confirm how well these less-invasive procedures work in real-world patients.
Athens, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04066296RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a numbing medicine to improve back decompression outcomes
This Phase 2 study looks at whether a long-lasting local pain medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) can improve recovery and outcomes after surgery for lumbar stenosis (narrowing in the lower spine). You may be considered if you’re an adult needing decompression surgery and do not have reasons that would make surgery unsafe or different from the study’s plan.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07615491Recruiting
Safety and effectiveness study of spinal implants and bone materials
This study tracks how well spinal implants (Titania systems) and bone-filling materials (BONEGRAFT) work after surgery and whether patients experience any problems. Researchers will follow patients after cervical or lower spine surgery to confirm these devices are safe and effective in real-world use.
