Using big data to predict outcomes after spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study collects information from people having surgery for problems in the lower (lumbar) or neck (cervical) spine. It tests whether using “big data” from routine care can help predict surgical outcomes and improve future decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were referred to the study clinic for surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis or cervical radiculopathy
- You are 18 years old or older
- You had an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) within the last 12 months that matches your symptoms
- Your doctor and you agree you have signed informed consent
- Your symptoms are not caused by another medical condition (no other confirmed reason)

This study records videos of spine surgeries to test a new system that tracks surgical tools without needing to attach anything to them. If you are having back surgery, your participation could help improve future surgical technology.
This trial looks at using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to help guide care choices for people with spine problems. It may help doctors assess whether you need surgery or a different approach, especially when disc herniation isn’t the main issue.
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 is tracking how active people are before and after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (a common cause of back and leg pain in older adults). It aims to see if activity monitoring can help improve recovery.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors choose which patients with certain lower back conditions might benefit from surgery. The tool supports specialists in making decisions about spine surgery for patients with herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
This study tests a dialogue support tool that helps you and your surgeon talk through your back surgery and recovery. It aims to make your meetings clearer and more helpful.
