Combination treatment for painful spinal fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a combination treatment for painful spinal fractures caused by thinning bones (osteoporosis) or tumors. It may help people with one or more recently broken vertebrae in the mid or lower back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a broken vertebra in your mid or lower back caused by osteoporosis or a tumor.
- An MRI has confirmed the fracture is new and actively causing pain.
- Your broken vertebra has not collapsed to less than one-third of its normal height.
- You do not have a spine infection, severe bleeding disorder, advanced kidney disease, or unstable spine needing surgery.

This study compares different treatments for spine fractures caused by minor falls or weak bones. It looks at vertebroplasty (a procedure to stabilize the bone) and bracing with physical therapy to see which helps people recover better.
This trial compares a new surgical technique called vertebropexy to standard fusion surgery for people with lower back problems like spinal canal narrowing or slipped vertebrae. The goal is to see if vertebropexy works as well or better with less recovery time.
This trial tests a new device called VCFix to treat a single broken vertebra in the mid-to-lower back. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective for relieving pain and restoring spine function.
This study tests a new method for treating recent spine fractures caused by weak bones (osteoporosis). A surgeon injects special cement into the broken vertebra to stabilize it and reduce pain. You'll be one of the first to receive this standardized technique.
This trial tests if a procedure called vertebroplasty (injecting bone cement into a fractured spine bone) relieves pain better than a sham (fake) procedure. It is for people with painful spine fractures caused by osteoporosis (weak bones) that started within the last three months.
This trial studies a minimally invasive procedure to treat very severe, unstable compression fractures in the spine caused by osteoporosis. It may help people who have trouble tolerating standard open spine surgery, by aiming to restore stability and alignment.
