Spondylolisthesis clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 5 recruiting spondylolisthesis studies with a site in California, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- 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 - 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+ - NCT06093477Recruiting
Melatonin and recovery for teens after surgery
This study tests whether taking melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) after a major bone or joint surgery helps teens recover better. If you are 12-18 and having a surgery like scoliosis repair, you may be able to join.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 12–18 - NCT04684901Enrolling by invitation
AlloWrap to reduce inflammation during cervical spine fusion surgery
This trial tests whether AlloWrap® can lower inflammation during anterior cervical fusion surgery (ACDF). It may help improve healing and recovery by reducing the body’s inflammatory response after surgery.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04418830Enrolling by invitation
Study of a spine cage implant for degenerative back problems
This trial studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
Los Alamitos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+

What taking part in a spondylolisthesis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
Common questions
- Are there spondylolisthesis clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting spondylolisthesis studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a spondylolisthesis study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a spondylolisthesis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New spondylolisthesis studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
