Diabetes in patients having first lower back surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.

This study compares two types of surgery for a herniated disc in the lower back in patients with diabetes. The goal is to see if a less invasive (endoscopic) procedure works as well or better than traditional open surgery.
This study looks at how well spinal anaesthesia (a numbing injection in the back) works for people who have had lumbar spine surgery in the past. It aims to see if previous back surgery affects the success of this type of anaesthesia, which could help doctors plan better care.
This study looks at whether certain tests and questionnaires before surgery can help predict if someone might have ongoing pain or complications after lumbar spine surgery. It aims to improve how doctors plan surgery for patients with degenerative lower back problems.
This study collects health information after lower-back disc surgery to track outcomes over time. It may help improve how the surgery and devices are monitored in real-world patients.
This study looks at whether different types of obesity affect pressure inside the belly and blood loss during major lower back surgery. The goal is to help doctors predict and reduce bleeding risks in people having spine operations.
This study looks at how long your symptoms have lasted before lower back surgery and whether that affects your recovery. If you're planning a lumbar spine operation and have symptoms like back or leg pain, this trial may help doctors understand the best timing for surgery.
