This study looks at people who have a herniated disc in their lower back that is pressing on a nerve, but who have no back pain or leg pain. The goal is to understand this 'silent' condition and why some people have no symptoms.
This trial tests a new device (Disc Care) implanted during surgery to repair a herniated disc in the lower back. It is designed to reduce the chance of the hernia coming back.
This trial tests a new drug called rhGDF-6 injected into the discs of your spine to help repair them. If you have had low back pain for at least 3 months despite trying other non-surgical treatments, and your MRI shows disc wear or changes, this study may offer a new option.
This trial tests a new gene therapy called TG-C for people with chronic low back pain caused by degenerative disc disease. The goal is to see if it is safe and tolerable, and it might offer a new treatment option for those who haven't found relief from other therapies.
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 study tests whether injecting a special disc material (nucleus pulposus allograft) into the damaged discs of your lower back can safely reduce pain and improve function. It's for people with long-term, moderate to severe low back pain from disc disease that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
