Comparing treatments for lumbar foraminal stenosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to treat a specific type of lower back pain caused by narrowed nerve passages in the spine. It may help if you have this condition and are looking for the best treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with degenerative lumbar foraminal stenosis (a narrowed nerve passage in your lower back due to aging).
- You do not have a spine deformity, infection, tumor, or instability.

This trial compares a newer, less invasive surgery (endoscopic foraminotomy) to a traditional back surgery for people with leg pain caused by a narrowed spine canal. The goal is to see which approach provides better relief and recovery.
This study compares two surgical approaches for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spine that puts pressure on nerves). One group will get standard decompression (relieving pressure), the other group will get that plus screws and rods to stabilize the spine. The goal is to see which leads to better outcomes.
This trial compares two different surgical techniques for treating a narrowed spinal canal (stenosis) in your lower back. The goal is to determine which approach works better for reducing pain and improving function.
This study compares two different surgical techniques – one using a small camera (endoscopic discectomy) and the other a traditional open approach (microdiscectomy) – to treat narrowing in the lower spine. It helps find which method may be better for relieving pain and improving function.
This study is comparing two surgical approaches for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the lower spine). It aims to see if a less invasive surgery works as well as a more extensive procedure, which may help patients recover faster.
This trial compares two minimally invasive spine surgeries for single-level spinal stenosis. It aims to see which procedure better relieves leg pain and improves walking ability in patients aged 50-75 who have not improved with non-surgical treatments.
