Nucleus replacement for single-level discogenic low back pain
Part of 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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 an experimental treatment that injects donated disc tissue (called an allograft) into damaged discs in your lower back. It's designed for people with chronic low back pain from disc degeneration who haven't found relief from non-surgical treatments.
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.
