Recruiting studies
- NCT05071144Recruiting
Registry for children getting robotic spine surgery
This trial registry collects information about kids and teens with spine deformities who are scheduled for robotic or navigation-assisted surgery (sometimes using custom rods). It may help doctors improve these advanced techniques over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–21 years - NCT05110833Enrolling by invitation
Study dosing effects during monitored neck or chest spine surgery
This trial studies whether different medication dosing during monitored neck or upper chest spine surgery leads to better outcomes. You might help doctors figure out the most effective dosing approach for this type of surgery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05037968Recruiting
Test bone graft materials for multi-level back fusion surgery
This trial compares two bone-graft materials to help bones heal after back fusion surgery using a rod/screw system. It may help people who have ongoing back or leg pain despite at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05066711Enrolling by invitation
Study of a neck surgery implant for adults
This trial looks at using a specific implant system during planned front-of-the-neck surgery (C2 to C7) for common neck problems like disc degeneration, injury, or spinal narrowing. It may help doctors compare outcomes with this particular hardware and surgical approach.
Naperville, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05052541RecruitingPhase 3
Oral cannabis for long-term spine pain
This trial studies whether taking cannabis by mouth can safely reduce chronic spine pain and improve daily comfort. You may be eligible if you have long-lasting spine pain and can follow study rules about stopping or limiting other cannabis and certain other treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 21–84 - NCT04937868Recruiting
Guiding CT scans for belly and pelvis injuries after blunt trauma
This study looks at how to make a better decision tool for when to order a CT scan of the belly and pelvis after a blunt injury in the emergency department. It aims to help clinicians choose the right patients for imaging during the first evaluation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03849443RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding after spine fusion
This trial studies whether a single dose or multiple doses of tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce the chance you need a blood transfusion after spine fusion surgery. It also compares two different ways TXA may be given (by mouth and through a vein) to see which approach works best and is safe.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04679844Recruiting
Test bone putty for back fusion versus bone graft alternatives
This study compares a ready-to-use bone putty to standard bone graft materials (with or without your own bone) during back fusion surgery for unstable lower back problems. It looks at whether the putty works as well or better to help the bones fuse and heal.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04194996Recruiting
Study of surgery for crooked or bent neck alignment
This study looks at how well planned surgery corrects neck (cervical) deformities and how the results change over time. It mainly involves standard pre- and follow-up imaging and study questionnaires to compare clinical and X-ray outcomes.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03506334Enrolling by invitation
Tether surgery to treat pediatric spine curvature
This study looks at a surgical method (an “anterior vertebral body tether”) to help straighten the spine in growing children with certain types of scoliosis. It aims to see how well the tether system works over the next 2 years, compared with expected progress without the surgery.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 10–16 - NCT03439228Recruiting
Testing brace use after low back fusion surgery
This pilot study looks at whether wearing a brace helps after single-level low back fusion surgery. You may be offered screening if you’re healing from a specific type of fusion and don’t have certain risk factors.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT03414242Enrolling by invitation
Neck and brain tests after a sports head or neck injury
This study looks at how sports-related injuries may affect thinking and how well your neck moves and feels strong. You may be eligible if you’re an athlete and can do simple neck movement and strength checks.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 12–30 - NCT02314988RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding in spine surgery
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) can reduce blood loss during long spine surgery after an injury. It may help lower the chance of needing transfusions and manage surgical bleeding.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT00272883Recruiting
Study genes in congenital muscle weakness
This research study looks at genes and molecules to better understand congenital myopathies (birth-related muscle weakness). It may help explain the cause of symptoms and improve future diagnoses for you and your family.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spine?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 254 recruiting spine 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 spine 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 spine 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.
