Pulse width modulation for spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to use electrical pulses during spine surgery to help place screws more safely. It may help patients needing screws in their spine with nerve monitoring during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for spine surgery that will use pedicle screws and nerve monitoring.
- You are not a newborn, minor, or pregnant woman.
- You are not a prisoner or cognitively impaired.

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 how spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild signals to the spinal cord) affects nerve pain after lumbar surgery. It also aims to help predict who is most likely to improve and why, comparing patients with and without certain sensory symptoms.
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.
This study tests whether using electrical stimulation during neck surgery can help improve how the brain and spinal cord process sensory information. It may offer new ways to help people with stroke-related weakness.
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 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.
