Study of the Minuteman device for spine fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the Minuteman device works for people with chronic low back pain and leg symptoms caused by aging spine conditions. It tests if the device helps patients move better after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study looks at how well certain Spinal Simplicity implants work over time for people who have already received them. You must have received a specific implant between 2022 and 2025 to qualify.
This study tests a new spinal device to see how well it works for people with neck pain and spinal stenosis. It may help reduce pain and improve function.
This trial is testing a treatment approach for people with long-lasting, painful worn-out discs in the lower back (and sometimes leg pain). It looks for people who tried common non-surgical options without enough relief and who may be headed toward a lumbar procedure.
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.
