- NCT05672849Recruiting
Testing devices used during fetal surgery for spina bifida
This trial looks at how safe and effective certain surgical devices are when doctors perform a minimally invasive fetal procedure to repair a neural tube defect. If you choose this specific type of fetal surgery, you may be able to join the study to help improve care for future patients.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06946563Recruiting
Fetoscopic surgery for spina bifida before birth
This trial tests a special fetal surgery (fetoscopic repair) to fix spina bifida before birth. It might help reduce spine and brain damage in babies with this condition.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03856034Recruiting
Open vs minimally invasive surgery for spina bifida baby
This study compares two ways to correct spina bifida while the baby is still in the womb: an open operation (laparotomy) versus a minimally invasive endoscopic approach (percutaneous endoscopic). The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes for the baby and pregnancy.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06929572Recruiting
Umbilical cord patch for closing spine birth defects after birth
This trial tests using a patch made from a newborn's own umbilical cord to help close an open spine defect (myelomeningocele or myeloschisis) shortly after birth. The goal is to protect the spinal cord and improve healing.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 1 day - NCT06734611Recruiting
Folic acid salt study in Zambia
This trial tests whether adding folic acid to salt can help prevent birth defects. It is for women who are not pregnant, not planning pregnancy, and not breastfeeding.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–45

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neural tube defects?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5 recruiting neural tube defects 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 neural tube defects 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 neural tube defects 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.
