Compare two treatments for lumbar spinal canal narrowing
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two approaches (UBE and PETD) for relieving nerve pressure caused by a single-level problem in the lower spine. It may help reduce pain and nerve symptoms by treating the narrowed spinal canal or disc-related compression.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a problem in the low back at only one level (single-segment), not multiple levels
- Your symptoms come from nerve compression (for example, pain, numbness, or weakness from nerve pressure)
- You have not had surgery in your low back before
- You do not have certain spine problems like spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra), scoliosis, or spine tumors/infection
- You do not have hip or knee arthritis, and you do not have hypertension or diabetes

This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove a herniated disc in the lower back. It aims to see which technique offers better pain relief and recovery.
This study compares two treatments for a herniated disc in the lower back: laser treatment alone, or laser treatment plus a steroid injection around the nerve. It aims to see if adding the injection improves pain and function more than laser alone.
This study compares two different water pressures used during a minimally invasive back surgery to see if one causes fewer complications and gives the surgeon a clearer view. It aims to help improve recovery and surgical outcomes for people with lower back problems.
This study compares two different surgical techniques – one using a small camera (endoscopic discectomy) and the other a traditional open approach (microdiscectomy) – to treat narrowing in the lower spine. It helps find which method may be better for relieving pain and improving function.
This study compares different ways to treat narrowing of the nerve openings in the lower back, which can cause pain and weakness in the legs. The goal is to find which treatment works best for people like you.
This trial compares two slightly different surgical techniques for treating lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal that causes leg pain). Both procedures fuse one level of your spine to relieve pain, but use slightly different approaches through the side of the spine.
