Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05895968Recruiting
Barbed Suture for Obese Patients Having Neck Surgery
This trial tests a special type of stitch (called barb suture) used during back-of-neck surgery. It is for people who are obese and need surgery for cervical spinal problems, to see if it helps recovery.
Xi'an, Shannxi ProvinceAges 28–85 - NCT05068011Recruiting
Tested spinal cord stimulation for long-term severe back pain
This trial studies a targeted spinal cord stimulation therapy to reduce severe, long-lasting pain. It may help people whose pain is due to failed back surgery and who can safely use the implanted system.
Jette, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT07105189Recruiting
Study of wireless vital sign monitors after spinal surgery
This trial tests whether a wireless, wearable monitor can safely track your heart rate and other vital signs after complex spinal surgery, reducing the need for frequent nurse checks. If you are having extensive back surgery and stay in the hospital for at least 3 days, you may be eligible.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06343259Recruiting
Comparing anesthesia types for hip surgery in older adults
This study compares general anesthesia (you are completely asleep) versus spinal anesthesia (you are awake but numb from the waist down) during hip surgery to see which one is better at preventing heart muscle damage. It is for people 65 and older who are at moderate to high risk for heart problems.
IstanbulAges 65 years+ - NCT06857760Recruiting
Soothing methods after spine surgery for nausea and thirst
This study tests three different methods to help reduce nausea, thirst, and discomfort after lower back disc surgery. It compares simple soothing techniques (like cold packs or mouth care) to see which works best for a quicker, more comfortable recovery.
AmasyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07326774Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided pain block for back surgery recovery
This trial tests whether a special pain block (Quadro-Iliac Plane Block) given before back surgery can reduce pain after the operation. The goal is to help patients feel more comfortable and need fewer painkillers.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT05786313Recruiting
Open-door neck surgery plan for cervical spinal narrowing
This study looks at a more tailored and standardized surgical approach for people with neck spinal narrowing and spinal cord symptoms. It may help doctors compare and improve how well surgery works for different patients.
Xi'an, Shannxi ProvinceAges 28–85 - NCT05575323Recruiting
Same-day radiation and stabilization for spine metastases
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) on the same day as spine surgery to stabilize the spine helps control symptoms from spinal metastases. It may help reduce pain and improve stability, especially when tumors threaten or affect the spine’s strength.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT05421273Recruiting
Testing two spinal stimulation patterns for long-term back pain
This study compares two ways of delivering spinal cord stimulation to see which better reduces pain in people with persistent spinal pain syndrome type 2. You would be assigned to one of the stimulation “burst” patterns and followed for changes in your pain experience.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18–70 - NCT04914585Recruiting
3D CT scan test to automatically identify spine bones
This study checks whether a computer can automatically spot and label the bones in your spine using 3D information from a CT scan. It may help surgeons work faster and more accurately before spine surgery.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT07662408RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two drugs to prevent low blood pressure during hip surgery
This trial tests two different medicines (norepinephrine and phenylephrine) given as an infusion to prevent low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for hip surgery. It may help older adults undergoing planned hip replacement or repair.
SohagAges 60–100 - NCT05957679Recruiting
Check how well an MRI test shows spinal tumor surgery challenges
This study looks at an MRI-type scan (called MRE) to measure stiffness and “adhesion” around spinal cord tumor surgery. It may help doctors plan surgery better by predicting what the tumor area will feel like and how it may stick to nearby tissues.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06613295Recruiting
Spine cancer trial: Surgery plus radiation vs radiation alone
This trial compares two treatments for cancer that has spread to the spine: surgery followed by precise radiation versus radiation alone. It aims to see if adding surgery improves pain, movement, and quality of life.
