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 trial compares two types of minimally invasive back surgery (biportal vs. uniportal endoscopic discectomy) for a single herniated disc in the lower back. It may be a good option if you've had persistent leg or back pain for at least 6 weeks and haven't had prior back surgery.
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 a specific type of lower back pain caused by narrowed nerve passages in the spine. It may help if you have this condition and are looking for the best treatment option.
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.
This study compares two types of surgery for a herniated disc in the lower back: endoscopic (using a small camera) and open surgery. It aims to see which approach leads to less pain and less need for painkillers after the operation.
This trial compares two different surgical techniques for treating a narrowed spinal canal (stenosis) in your lower back. The goal is to determine which approach works better for reducing pain and improving function.
