New expandable cage with bone graft for lumbar spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of expandable cage that is placed in the lower spine through a side approach, along with bone graft, to stabilize the spine and relieve pain from a slipped vertebra or narrowed spinal canal. It is designed for people who have not gotten relief from non-surgical treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with lumbar spondylolisthesis (a vertebrae slipping forward) or lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).
- The problem is in one specific level of your lower spine, at L2/3, L3/4, or L4/5.
- You have tried non-surgical treatments (like medication, therapy, or injections) for at least 6 months, but they haven't helped enough.

This trial compares two ways of placing supportive cages in the lower spine during a fusion surgery — either two straight cages or one curved (banana) cage. The goal is to see which approach gives better pain relief and stability for people with disc problems.
This trial studies a new spine implant placed between the bones to help relieve low back pain. You may be a candidate if imaging shows mild-to-moderate spinal narrowing and you’ve already tried non-surgical treatments for at least 3 months.
This trial studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
This trial is testing a new device called the CONDUIT cage for a type of back surgery called anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF). The surgery helps treat degenerative disc disease in the lower back by fusing two vertebrae together using a cage to support the spine. The study will see how well this cage works in patients who are already scheduled for this surgery.
This study tests an implant placed in the lower spine to treat back pain caused by disc degeneration. It aims to see if the implant helps reduce pain and improve function in people who have not improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a new combination of a cage and bone graft putty for spinal fusion surgery. It is for people with degenerative disc disease or a herniated disc in the neck or lower back that needs surgery.
