Video study to improve spine surgery tracking
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having spine surgery that uses an incision in your back.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You are able to understand what the study involves and agree to take part.
- During your surgery, a portion of your spine bone will be briefly visible to the camera.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects information from people having surgery for problems in the lower (lumbar) or neck (cervical) spine. It tests whether using “big data” from routine care can help predict surgical outcomes and improve future decisions.
This trial tests a 3D scanner that maps your spine during surgery to help the surgeon work more accurately. It is for people already planning spine surgery where the back bones are exposed.
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 specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
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 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.
