KøgeAges 65 years+ - NCT06057428Recruiting
Activity levels in seniors having spine surgery
This study is tracking how active people are before and after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (a common cause of back and leg pain in older adults). It aims to see if activity monitoring can help improve recovery.
KøgeAges 65 years+ - NCT06034405Recruiting
Checking spine tissue for heart amyloidosis signs
This trial is looking at leftover tissue from past spine surgeries to see if it contains signs of a heart condition called TTR amyloidosis. It may help find people who have this condition early.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT04075539RecruitingPhase 3
At-home cycling for lumbar spinal stenosis pain
This study tests whether an at-home cycling program can reduce leg and back pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis. It aims to see if regular, supervised cycling helps people walk and function better.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 50 years+ - NCT05273879Recruiting
Testing whether one-level fusion is needed after lumbar decompression
This trial compares outcomes after decompression surgery for one affected area in the lower back, with and without adding spinal fusion. It may help patients avoid unnecessary extra surgery—or ensure fusion is used when it’s needed.
Moscow, MoscowAges 45–75 - NCT05029726RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine during back surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT05058287RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid shot during low-back surgery
This trial tests whether using a steroid medicine (a steroid shot) around the time of low-back decompression surgery improves pain and recovery. It is for adults having a limited-area laminectomy, and it compares steroid use versus not using it.
New York, New YorkAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT04992572RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing two types of anesthesia for back decompression surgery
This early study compares two anesthesia approaches during lumbar decompression (back surgery to relieve pressure on nerves). It may help improve comfort and safety during surgery, but whether you personally benefit is not yet known.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 40–95 - NCT03553186RecruitingPhase 3
Tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding in spine surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether tranexamic acid can reduce bleeding during major spine fusion surgery for adults with scoliosis or spine degeneration. It may help lessen blood loss and the need for transfusions, while monitoring safety.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07232836Recruiting
Body chemicals and brain changes after back surgery
This trial studies how certain chemicals in your body and brain change after a type of back surgery called endoscopic decompression. If you have lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine) or a herniated disc and are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to join.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–90 - NCT05452694Recruiting
