Vertebropexy trial for lumbar spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares a new surgical technique called vertebropexy to standard fusion surgery for people with lower back problems like spinal canal narrowing or slipped vertebrae. The goal is to see if vertebropexy works as well or better with less recovery time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need surgery on one or two lower back bones (lumbar vertebrae).
- You have a narrowed spinal canal plus a stable slipped vertebra, and are getting decompression surgery.
- Or you have a narrowed spinal canal plus an unstable slipped vertebra, a pinched nerve, or a worn-out disc, and are getting fusion surgery.
- You understand German well enough to follow the study instructions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares outcomes after decompression surgery for one affected area in the lower back, with and without adding spinal fusion. It may help patients avoid unnecessary extra surgery—or ensure fusion is used when it’s needed.
This trial tests a less invasive spinal surgery using an endoscope (a small camera) to treat certain spine problems without fusing bones together, which may help you recover faster. It is for adults with specific types of back or leg pain from conditions like a failed previous fusion, a slipped vertebra, or a curved spine with narrowing.
This trial studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
This study tests a combination treatment for painful spinal fractures caused by thinning bones (osteoporosis) or tumors. It may help people with one or more recently broken vertebrae in the mid or lower back.
This trial tests a new implant to treat lower back narrowing that causes pain. It may help people who have not improved after at least 3 months of non-surgical care.
This trial tests whether removing pressure on spinal nerves alone, without any hardware, can help fix spine balance and reduce pain in people with lumbar stenosis. It is for those who have had leg pain or trouble walking for at least 3 months and plan to have surgery without implants.
