Nerve monitoring during a low-back fusion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old before your planned surgery.
- Your planned surgery must be a 1- or 2-level lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), including L4-5.
- You (or your legal representative) must be able to sign consent and follow study steps.
- Your surgery cannot involve more than 2 lumbar levels.
- You should not have nerve problems (like from diabetes) that could make the nerve monitoring unreliable.
- You should not be pregnant or planning pregnancy during the study, and you must not join another conflicting study.

This study uses special monitoring during surgery to watch the nerves that control bowel, bladder, and leg function. The goal is to help surgeons protect these nerves and predict your recovery after surgery.
This study records what happens when doctors use spinal cord monitoring and stimulation during brain or spinal cord surgery. It may help improve how safely these procedures are performed in the future.
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.
This trial tests a new spinal implant system (CORUS-LX) for fusing two lower back discs that are causing pain. It is meant for people with severe, long-lasting back or leg pain that hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments.
This study tests a new imaging tool called Nociscan to see if it helps doctors decide who will benefit from lumbar spine surgery for low back pain. It may help predict surgical outcomes and guide treatment.
This trial compares a new “NeuroVision” monitoring approach with the standard method while you have spinal surgery for worn-out (degenerative) problems. The goal is to see if NeuroVision helps surgeons detect nerve-related issues earlier and safer during the operation.
