Titanium versus PEEK for one-level back fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two different implanted materials (titanium vs. PEEK) used in a one-level spinal fusion for people with lumbar stenosis and spondylolisthesis. It’s meant to see which device performs better after surgery for pain and leg symptoms when non-surgical treatments haven’t helped.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a one-level TLIF back surgery for lumbar stenosis and spondylolisthesis
- You’ve tried non-surgical treatments for at least 6 weeks and they didn’t work
- You are between 18 and 70 years old at the time of surgery
- This will be your first lumbar fusion surgery (no prior spinal fusion in your low back)
- Your surgery is not needed because of infection, tumor, or trauma
- You are not pregnant

This trial compares two bone-graft materials to help bones heal after back fusion surgery using a rod/screw system. It may help people who have ongoing back or leg pain despite at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments.
This study tests a new titanium implant to help stabilize the lower spine in people with painful, worn-out discs. It aims to see if the implant works well and is safe in everyday practice.
This study compares two types of cages used in a spinal fusion surgery to see if one helps bones heal better and reduces pain. It may help people with degenerative disc disease in the lower back who haven't improved with other treatments.
This study compares different advanced materials used in a specific spinal fusion surgery (XLIF). It aims to see which implant material helps the bone fuse well and safely over time.
This study tracks how well spinal implants (Titania systems) and bone-filling materials (BONEGRAFT) work after surgery and whether patients experience any problems. Researchers will follow patients after cervical or lower spine surgery to confirm these devices are safe and effective in real-world use.
This study compares two types of cages used in spinal fusion surgery for people with osteoporosis. It aims to see if one type leads to better bone healing and stability.
