Back brace versus no brace after back fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares wearing a back brace (“orthosis”) versus not wearing one after surgery for a traumatic back fracture. It looks at whether the brace improves recovery and reduces problems after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your fracture happened from an accident (trauma) between T7 and L4
- The bone break type is A, B, or C (as listed in the trial’s fracture classification)
- You had surgery to stabilize your back from the back side (“dorsal fixation”)
- You can speak/read Dutch well enough to complete questionnaires and clinic visits

This trial tests if wearing a back brace combined with exercise helps people with a specific type of low back problem called spondylolisthesis (where a spine bone slips forward). It may reduce pain and improve function.
This study looks at recovery after planned (elective) surgery for common lower-back (“lumbar”) spine problems like slipped discs, disc bulges, and narrowing of the spinal canal. You may be asked to complete online questionnaires, and the study uses your answers to understand symptoms and outcomes after surgery.
This trial tests how different back braces affect how your spine moves. It is looking for healthy young adults to see if these braces change the way you bend or move your spine.
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.
This study compares surgery and non-surgical care for an acute burst fracture in the middle-to-lower back. The goal is to see which approach works better for healing and recovery.
This study tests if a neck brace (orthosis) works well for treating stable neck fractures without surgery. It may be an option if you have a recent, mild neck break and are healthy enough for non-surgical care.
