Study of molecular changes in removed spinal tissue
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at what’s happening at the molecular level in spinal tissue that is normally removed during surgery. It may help researchers better understand spinal conditions and improve future treatments, using tissue provided as part of routine care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or adult who is scheduled for spine surgery
- Your planned surgery normally removes spinal tissue as part of the procedure
- Your surgical team will be able to collect leftover spinal tissue for the study
- The removed tissue must be part of routine surgery (not an extra removal just for research)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) to find markers that may signal a brain or spinal tumor or related abnormal growth. If you have a suspected tumor near the CSF spaces, these results may help doctors better classify what’s going on.
This study will look at leftover spinal fluid from people with brain or nerve conditions to find proteins that may help diagnose or track these diseases. If you are already scheduled for a spinal tap or brain surgery, your extra fluid could be used for this research.
This trial looks at how certain markers of bone and muscle health might predict complications after spinal surgery. It could help doctors better understand which patients are at risk and improve recovery.
This study collects and analyzes spinal fluid from patients having surgery with spinal anesthesia. It aims to learn more about the fluid's composition to help understand neurological conditions.
This study looks at cells from people with degenerated discs or from donated fat or placenta tissue. It aims to understand how these cells work and might help develop new treatments for back pain.
This study is for people getting planned spine surgery. It looks at how your genes and thinking skills might affect your pain and use of pain medicine after surgery.
