Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04467944Recruiting
Lumbar fusion outcomes with arthritis in nearby spine segments
This study looks at how well lumbar fusion surgery works long-term when the joint just above or below (adjacent segment) already shows wear-and-tear. It may help predict who benefits most and guide treatment planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05473689Recruiting
Sleep study in early spinal cord injury
This study looks at how sleep quality affects movement problems after a new spinal cord injury. Researchers hope to identify sleep targets that could improve motor function during recovery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06443151Recruiting
Blood Vessel Health After Spinal Cord Injury
This study looks at how blood vessel health is affected in people with long-term spinal cord injury (over 1 year). It tests whether blood vessel function plays a role in heart and circulatory risk.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18–89 - NCT07321977Recruiting
Walking test with a portable device for neuromuscular disease
This study tests a portable device that analyzes walking without markers. It aims to see if it can help assess walking in people with neuromuscular diseases and healthy volunteers, which could lead to simpler check-ups.
ParisAges 18–65 - NCT07357428Recruiting
Brain-computer implant study for severe paralysis or speech loss
This study tests a brain-computer implant that might help people with severe paralysis or speech loss control a computer with their thoughts. It is for people who have trouble moving and speaking due to a progressive disease or injury.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 22–75 - NCT07001969Enrolling by invitation
Percutaneous facet spine fixation for instability
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure to fix unstable vertebrae in the neck or lower back using a small incision. It may help people with spinal instability causing nerve symptoms or pressure on the spinal cord.
Cairo, ShoroukAges Any age - NCT04944940Recruiting
Study tests blood, scans, and genes in SBMA and healthy men
This study looks for early “biomarkers” (measurable signs) in the body using blood tests, imaging scans, and sometimes other procedures in men with genetically confirmed spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). The results may help future drug studies by showing better ways to track disease changes over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06999434RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new PET scan for nerve coating damage
This study uses a special PET scan tracer to look at the protective coating of nerves in the brain. It aims to help doctors see and measure damage to this coating, which can happen in diseases like multiple sclerosis. The trial is open to healthy volunteers to test this new imaging method.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 96 recruiting spinal disease 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 spinal disease 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 spinal disease 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.
