Study of nerves during low back surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny nerves in the low back during planned lumbar spine surgery. It may help researchers better understand nerve pathways that contribute to low back pain and nerve-related symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a procedure called radiofrequency denervation to reduce long-lasting, mostly “pain-from-joints/structures” low back pain, and it uses brain imaging to understand what changes during treatment. It may help people who already showed they respond well to a similar diagnostic nerve block.
This study looks at how muscle degeneration relates to nerve-related symptoms in people with chronic low back pain. You may be eligible if you’ve tried non-surgical care but still need surgery to relieve nerve pressure.
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.
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.
This study tests whether a procedure that uses focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) and/or a radiofrequency nerve treatment can reduce long-lasting low back pain caused by facet-joint arthritis. It may help people whose pain improves strongly after a targeted numbing injection to specific back nerves.
This study focuses on people with long-lasting low back pain that likely comes from the small “facet” joints in the lower spine. It aims to better understand brain, psychological, and biology changes to help optimize treatment for this type of back pain.
