Recruiting studies
- NCT07133724Recruiting
Digital health study for lumbar spine wear and tear
This study uses digital tools to measure how lumbar degeneration affects walking. It aims to find early signs of spine problems in people without current back pain.
TaipeiAges 50–80 - NCT07090122Recruiting
Spinal tumor treatment: ablation plus radiation vs radiation alone
This study compares two treatments for cancer that has spread to the spine. One group receives radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment to destroy tumor cells) plus bone strengthening, followed by radiation. The other group receives radiation alone. The goal is to see which approach better controls pain and prevents spine problems.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07059065Recruiting

Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07056166Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict epidural difficulty in labor
This study uses ultrasound to see if doctors can predict how easy or hard it will be to place an epidural for labor pain relief. It may help identify women who might need extra care during the procedure.
PaduaAges 18 years+ - NCT07047300Recruiting
How a heel lift insole affects walking for healthy adults
This study tests whether wearing a heel lift insole changes how your legs and lower back move while walking. It may help understand if such insoles can benefit people with certain conditions, but right now it only includes healthy volunteers.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 18–25 - NCT06992622Recruiting
Youth spine and vision health study
This study is following a group of young people with scoliosis to better understand how their spine and vision change over time. It may help you learn more about your condition and contribute to future care.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–17 - 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+ - NCT07027306Recruiting
New score to guide treatment for osteoporotic spine fractures
This study tests a new classification system to help doctors decide the best treatment for spine fractures caused by osteoporosis. It aims to improve pain and mobility by matching treatment to fracture type.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07026552Recruiting
Ligament study for lumbar spinal stenosis
This study looks at the ligament in your lower back to understand how lumbar spinal stenosis develops. It involves analyzing tissue samples and may help find better ways to treat this condition.
Rome, RMAges 50–85 - NCT07003802Enrolling by invitation
Understanding back muscle control in disc injury
This study looks at how the brain controls back muscles in people with chronic disc injuries. It compares patients before surgery or physical therapy to healthy controls to better understand muscle function.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT06983873Recruiting
Better cervical spine care for stable trauma patients
This trial tests a new way to manage neck injuries in conscious, stable patients during emergency care before reaching the hospital. It aims to see if this approach improves recovery and care after the injury.
AmiensAges 18–65 - NCT06981156Recruiting
Study of pediatric brain and spine tumor exams
This study tests a shorter way to check the brain and nervous system in children with brain or spine tumors. It aims to see if the new exam is as good as the standard one.
Madison, WisconsinAges 1–17 - NCT06965101Recruiting
Single-session MRI-guided radiation for spinal cord compression
This trial tests whether one quick radiotherapy session on a special MRI machine (MRL) is as good as standard treatment for people with spinal cord compression caused by cancer that has spread. It aims to make treatment faster and easier for you.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT06965920Enrolling by invitation
Spinal pain and balance study using gentle chiropractic care
This study tests a gentle chiropractic technique called flexion distraction to see if it improves how well you move and balance while standing. It may help if you have spinal pain and can stand with mild to moderate pain.
West Palm Beach, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT06960018Recruiting
Ennovate minimally invasive spinal screw placement study
This study tests a new, less invasive method for placing screws in the cervical spine (upper back and neck). It is designed for patients who need spinal stabilization after injury or degeneration.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT06724679Recruiting
Virtual reality for chronic back pain treatment
This trial tests if using a virtual reality (VR) headset can help people with long-term lower back pain during a spine rehabilitation program. It will see if VR is a practical and helpful addition to the program.
AngersAges 18–65 - NCT06910696Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two nerve blocks for lumbar disc surgery pain
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain control after lumbar disc surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines after your operation.
ZagazigAges 21–64 - NCT06907901Recruiting
Testing a measurement tool for rounded upper back
This study is testing how reliable a measurement tool (called PHAS) is for people with postural hyperkyphosis—a condition where the upper back is overly rounded. It may help researchers understand if this tool works well for people like you.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 8–65 - NCT06776003Recruiting
Mobility after vertebroplasty vs sham for spine fractures from osteoporosis
This trial compares a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting bone cement into the broken bone) with a sham (fake) procedure to see how it affects your ability to move and be active. It's for people with recent painful spinal fractures caused by weak bones (osteoporosis).
KoldingAges 50 years+ - NCT06839300Recruiting
Blood biomarkers in spinal cord injury study
This study is looking for people with a spinal cord injury from a blunt force (not a penetrating injury like a gunshot or stab wound) to see if certain substances in the blood (called biomarkers) can help doctors understand the injury better and predict recovery. It involves an initial blood sample within 24 hours of the injury and follow-up assessments.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 19 years+ - NCT06820736Recruiting
Comparing drain methods after low back surgery
This study compares two different methods of using a tube (drain) to remove fluid after low back surgery. It aims to see which drain technique leads to fewer problems or better recovery for people having one or two levels of back surgery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–70 - NCT06785350Recruiting
Smallest effective steroid dose for spine surgery pain
This study tests whether a very small amount of a steroid (betamethasone) placed around the surgical cut can help control pain after spine surgery. It aims to find the lowest dose that still works well, so patients may need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06745791Recruiting
Testing a new spine MRI technique (BoneMRI)
This study is testing a new MRI technique called BoneMRI that may show bones more clearly than standard MRI. If you already need both a CT and an MRI of your spine, your scans could be used to compare this new method with the regular ones.

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.
