Recruiting studies
- NCT05406063Recruiting
Focused radiation for bone metastases causing pain
This trial studies a precise type of radiation given in multiple small sessions to treat bone metastases that are causing pain. It may help shrink or control the spots in the bone while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the area closely.
Winterthur, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05419518RecruitingPhase 2
Higher-dose radiation to ease pain from metastatic tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether a stronger (higher-dose) radiation plan can better reduce pain from tumors that have spread to bone or other areas. It’s meant to help people live more comfortably by targeting painful spots while avoiding certain high-risk situations.
Hamilton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05657548Recruiting
Posture study in sitting for children with cerebral palsy
This study measures the way a child’s pelvis and spine sit and hold posture while seated. It is meant to improve understanding of posture needs in children with cerebral palsy and help guide care.
NîmesAges 4–17 - NCT05746325Recruiting
Tumor-pulse device for spinal cancer fluid spread
This trial tests whether Tumor Treating Fields (a non-surgical device that delivers treatment signals to cancer cells through the scalp/skin) can help people whose breast or lung cancer has spread into the fluid around the spine and brain. It focuses on people who have cancer cells found in spinal fluid and can safely use the device most of the day.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05776771Recruiting
Spine movement study for people with back or neck pain
This study measures how your spine and back/neck move using motion testing and equipment. It may help researchers better understand differences between people with spine pain and people without.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05856539Recruiting
Numbing nerve block during minimally invasive low back surgery
This trial tests whether an “ESP block” (a numbing injection near the spine) can help control pain during minimally invasive low back fusion surgery. If you’re having this surgery, the goal is to improve comfort and reduce pain medicine needs.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05866419Recruiting
Implantable device for delivering Spinraza through the spine
This trial tests a surgically implanted port and catheter system that delivers Spinraza (nusinersen) into the fluid around the spinal cord, using a more direct route than repeated spinal taps. It may help people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who can’t safely or comfortably get repeated lumbar punctures (spinal taps).
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 3 years+ - NCT05883436Recruiting
Testing a specific neck fusion implant for nerve pain
This trial studies a specific implant used to fuse certain neck discs (C3 to C7) in people with nerve-related arm symptoms. It may help by supporting healing of the painful, damaged disc(s) and improving arm pain or numbness.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05986370Recruiting
Study on back pain and spinal manipulation
This trial tests whether spinal manipulation therapy (a type of hands-on treatment) can help people with long-term low back pain. It also compares their results to healthy volunteers of the same age and sex.
Trois-Rivières, QuebecAges 18–60 - 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+ - NCT06034405Recruiting
Checking spine tissue for heart amyloidosis signs
This trial is looking at leftover tissue from past spine surgeries to see if it contains signs of a heart condition called TTR amyloidosis. It may help find people who have this condition early.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06059599Recruiting
Testing a new way to explain surgery to patients
This trial compares a new multimedia consent process to the standard one for people having planned spine or prostate surgery. The goal is to see if patients understand the risks and benefits better.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06100172Recruiting
Ear Stimulation After Back Surgery
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation placed on the ear (tAuricular Neurostimulation) can help reduce pain and improve recovery after lumbar spine surgery. It is for people who are already scheduled for a lumbar fusion or laminectomy and want to see if this non-invasive approach can ease their post-surgery discomfort.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT06141187Recruiting
Vertebroplasty vs. sham for spine fractures due to osteoporosis
This trial tests if a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting bone cement into a fractured spine bone) relieves pain better than a sham (fake) procedure. It is for people with painful spine fractures caused by osteoporosis (weak bones) that started within the last three months.
Middelfart, FynAges 50 years+ - NCT06143813Recruiting
Precision treatment for lumbar nerve pain with targeted block
This trial tests if a targeted nerve root injection can improve outcomes for people with persistent leg pain from a compressed nerve in the lower back, with the goal of tailoring surgery more precisely.
Aarhus CAges 18 years+ - NCT06271915Recruiting
Neck stretches for tennis elbow pain
This study tests if gentle neck movements can reduce elbow pain in people with tennis elbow. It is for those whose elbow pain may be linked to a stiff neck.
GizaAges 30–50 - 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+ - NCT06293157Recruiting
Carbon fiber screws for spinal cancer treatment
This trial tests if carbon fiber screws are better for stabilizing the spine when cancer has spread there. It may help patients who are getting special radiation therapy (SBRT) for spinal tumors.
BydgoszczAges 18 years+ - NCT06335095Recruiting
Spine disease and walking analysis study for adults 50–85
This study looks at how spine conditions affect the way people walk. Researchers will analyze your walking patterns to better understand spine disease and help guide future treatments.
LisbonAges 50–85 - NCT06355791Recruiting
Study of the Minuteman device for spine fusion
This study looks at how well the Minuteman device works for people with chronic low back pain and leg symptoms caused by aging spine conditions. It tests if the device helps patients move better after surgery.
Newnan, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06361459Recruiting
Quit Smoking Before Spine Surgery
This study tests whether a program to help people quit smoking before spine surgery improves recovery. It's for adults having neck or low back surgery, but not for cancer or trauma cases.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18–75 - NCT06367582Recruiting
Study of Teknimed spine cements outcomes
This study is checking how well certain spine cements (used to stabilize broken vertebrae) work in real life. If you are 18 or older and have had or will have a TEKNIMED cement procedure, you may be able to join.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spine?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 264 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.
