Facet fixation implant for spinal stenosis treatment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older.
- You have moderate to severe narrowing in your lower spine (1 to 3 levels) that requires surgery.
- You have not had improvement after at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy or medications).
- Your back pain score is at least 50 out of 100. This is usually a moderate to high level of pain.
- You have no prior back surgery and no significant spine instability or deformity.

This trial looks at whether a limited decompression (a careful nerve-space “freeing” procedure) can help prevent future problems in the spinal level next to your planned surgery. It targets people with spinal canal narrowing next to the surgery level but who do not yet have symptoms there.
This trial compares two different surgical techniques for treating a narrowed spinal canal (stenosis) in your lower back. The goal is to determine which approach works better for reducing pain and improving function.
This trial studies a new spine implant placed between the bones to help relieve low back pain. You may be a candidate if imaging shows mild-to-moderate spinal narrowing and you’ve already tried non-surgical treatments for at least 3 months.
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 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 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.
