This study aims to customize anti-infection medication doses for people with bone or joint infections. The goal is to make treatment more effective and reduce side effects.
This trial tests a shorter course of antibiotics for people with mild spinal tuberculosis. It aims to see if a shorter treatment works just as well as the standard longer course, which could mean fewer side effects and a quicker recovery.
This study tests whether giving a shorter course of antibiotics after surgery for a bacterial spine infection is as safe and effective as the usual longer course. It may help some people avoid side effects and reduce total antibiotic exposure—while still keeping the infection controlled.
This study tests if a special irrigation solution can lower bacteria levels in the surgical area during spinal fusion surgery with implants. It is intended for adults having their first planned spinal fusion surgery.
This trial tests whether oral antibiotics, taken as pills, work as well as IV antibiotics for treating spinal infections. It may be an option if your infection is already improving with a short course of IV antibiotics.
This trial tests a new device that measures antibiotic levels in blood quickly at the bedside, so doctors can adjust your dose to make sure it's effective. It may help ICU patients on beta-lactam antibiotics get the right amount.
