Spine surgery study: genes, thinking, and pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study is for people getting planned spine surgery. It looks at how your genes and thinking skills might affect your pain and use of pain medicine after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned surgery on your spine (neck, mid-back, or lower back).
- You do not have a severe psychiatric condition that would prevent you from participating.
- You do not have a serious medical problem (like heart, lung, kidney, or liver disease) that would interfere.
- You are not pregnant.

This study is for people who have chronic post-surgical pain and have a planned surgery on a leg or the spine. The goal is to better understand this long-term pain and what may help manage it after surgery.
This study looks at whether genetic differences can help predict how much pain you may have after an elective (planned) operation. If you qualify, you may be asked to give consent and share information so researchers can compare pain experiences across people.
This study looks at genetic (inherited) factors that may influence bone healing in people undergoing major spine procedures. It may help researchers understand why some people heal differently and could guide better care in the future.
This study looks at whether certain microbes (tiny living things) are linked to spine problems like herniated discs or narrow spinal canals. It involves people who need spine surgery, and the findings might help explain why some spines wear out faster.
This trial looks at how certain markers of bone and muscle health might predict complications after spinal surgery. It could help doctors better understand which patients are at risk and improve recovery.
This study looks at tiny nerves in the low back during planned lumbar spine surgery. It may help researchers better understand nerve pathways that contribute to low back pain and nerve-related symptoms.
