Recruiting studies
- NCT06202443Recruiting

This study looks at whether starting physical therapy soon after ACDF neck surgery helps people recover better. It compares early physical therapy to standard care.
Honolulu, HawaiiAges 18–75 - NCT07044206Recruiting
Comparing two bone graft materials for lumbar fusion surgery

Montpellier, FranceAges 18–80 - NCT06407063Recruiting
Long-term results after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis
This study looks at patients who had back surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis and a condition called spondylolisthesis between 2007 and 2015. They want to see how many people needed another operation years later.
TromsøAges 18 years+ - NCT06934278RecruitingPhase 3
Plasma vs salt water for scoliosis surgery in kids
This study compares two types of fluids—one made from donated human blood plasma and one a standard salt-solution—given during scoliosis surgery in children and teenagers. The goal is to see which fluid helps patients recover safely and with fewer complications.
HelsinkiAges 10–21 - NCT07092917Recruiting
Spinal fusion surgery for teen scoliosis
This trial studies the outcomes and complications of posterior spinal fusion surgery in teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It aims to help those with moderate to severe curves that are getting worse quickly or causing functional problems.
Asyut, EgyptAges 8–21 - NCT04775537Recruiting
OssiMend bone graft for lumbar spine fusion surgery
This trial studies whether OssiMend bone graft helps heal a lumbar spine fusion for people whose disc disease has not improved with non-surgical care. It may be an option if you need back surgery due to specific spine wear-and-tear changes.
Encinitas, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05959603RecruitingPhase 3
Vancomycin powder during spinal surgery to prevent infection
This Phase 3 trial tests whether placing vancomycin powder in the wound during spinal fusion surgery can lower the chance of a surgical site infection. You might qualify if you’re having a specific type of spinal surgery and meet safety criteria.
Petah TikvaAges 18–90 - NCT06284174Recruiting
Comparing two antiseptics for spinal surgery wound soaking
This trial compares two common antiseptics (povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate) to see which better reduces germs in spinal surgery wounds during the operation. If you are having lumbar spine surgery, this study may help determine the best way to prevent infections.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06471348Recruiting
Pain control after scoliosis surgery: comparing two numbing medicines
This study compares two types of numbing medicine used during scoliosis surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. One is a long-acting version (liposomal bupivacaine) and the other is a standard short-acting mix (bupivacaine with epinephrine). If you are a teen having surgery for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, this trial may help find a way to reduce pain and possibly lessen the need for opioids afterward.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 10–17 - NCT07207187Enrolling by invitation
Long-term outcomes of the Karma fixation system
This study looks at how patients are doing one year or more after spinal surgery with the Karma Fixation System. It may help doctors understand the long-term safety and effectiveness of this treatment.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06415110Enrolling by invitation
Comparing bone grafts for lower back fusion surgery
This study tests if a special bone graft material (Allosync Expand) plus your own bone is as good as using just your own bone for spinal fusion surgery. It might help people with back or leg pain caused by a slipped vertebra and narrowed spine.
Southfield, MichiganAges 22 years+ - NCT05504499Recruiting
Test a new implant for low back pain with mild narrowing
This trial studies a new spine implant placed between the bones to help relieve low back pain. You may be a candidate if imaging shows mild-to-moderate spinal narrowing and you’ve already tried non-surgical treatments for at least 3 months.
Santa Rosa, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06491030RecruitingPhase 4
Brace use after spinal fusion for adults with spine curves
This trial tests whether wearing a back brace after surgery helps prevent problems at the top of a spinal fusion. It is for adults aged 30-75 having their first spine fusion from near the middle of the back down to the tailbone or pelvis.
Carmel, IndianaAges 30–75 - NCT05611775Recruiting
Spinal surgery patients tracked for daily activity after surgery
This trial follows adults who are getting a multi-level spinal deformity correction surgery with special pelvic attachment. It looks at how well you return to real-life function and activity after surgery using follow-up visits at Mayo Clinic.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06024785Recruiting
Vertebropexy trial for lumbar spine surgery
This trial compares a new surgical technique called vertebropexy to standard fusion surgery for people with lower back problems like spinal canal narrowing or slipped vertebrae. The goal is to see if vertebropexy works as well or better with less recovery time.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04469387Recruiting
Reduce adjacent back pain after lumbar surgery
This trial looks at whether a limited decompression (a careful nerve-space “freeing” procedure) can help prevent future problems in the spinal level next to your planned surgery. It targets people with spinal canal narrowing next to the surgery level but who do not yet have symptoms there.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05306665Recruiting
Preventing pain after spine surgery
This study looks at ways to reduce pain after certain spine surgeries. If you’re having one of these procedures, you may be invited to try a pain-prevention approach and help researchers understand what works best.
Chestnut Hill, MassachusettsAges 22 years+ - NCT04936074Recruiting
Fusion vs no fusion after neck cord decompression
This trial compares two surgery approaches for people with a gradually worsening spinal cord problem in the neck: doing fusion (joining bones together) versus not doing fusion after decompression (making more space for the spinal cord). It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for symptoms and recovery.
UppsalaAges 18 years+ - NCT05648474Recruiting
Nerve monitoring during a low-back fusion surgery
This study tests whether special nerve monitoring during a low-back fusion helps make surgery safer and the results easier to judge. It’s for people having a specific type of low-back fusion on one or two levels.
Carlsbad, CaliforniaAges 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.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT04407338Recruiting
B-DYN device versus standard fusion for lumbar stenosis
This trial compares a specific spinal fusion approach (B-DYN) with the standard fusion surgery for people with lumbar spinal stenosis. It aims to improve function after surgery and check whether the newer approach is well tolerated.
BordeauxAges 40 years+ - NCT07217964Enrolling by invitation
Study of natural protein for spinal fusion surgery
This trial is testing a natural protein material used during spinal fusion surgery to treat lower back pain caused by worn-out discs. It may help patients who haven't gotten better with other treatments and need surgery on up to four levels of the lower spine.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06342765Recruiting
Safety of SpineVision posterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar spine
This trial checks how well the SpineVision Lumis, Plus, or Ulis spine fixation systems work and stay safe in the lower back and mid-back area. It is for people who already have one of these systems implanted.

- How do I know if I qualify for a spinal (fusion) surgery 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 (fusion) surgery 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.
