Nucleus replacement for single-level discogenic low back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called PerQdisc for people with chronic low back pain from a single damaged disc in the lower spine. The goal is to see if the device can safely replace the inner gel of the disc without major surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether using a tool called Nociscan helps improve outcomes in people having surgery for low back pain caused by damaged discs. It may help doctors decide which discs need treatment.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own stem cells to help heal damaged discs in your lower back. The stem cells are injected into the disc during a minimally invasive procedure to reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests a new spinal implant system (CORUS-LX) for fusing two lower back discs that are causing pain. It is meant for people with severe, long-lasting back or leg pain that hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments.
This study tests whether inserting a small artificial implant into a single painful disc can reduce long-term low back pain and disability. It’s for people who tried non-surgical treatments for at least 6 months but still have significant symptoms from degenerative disc disease.
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 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.
