This study compares two surgical approaches for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spine that puts pressure on nerves). One group will get standard decompression (relieving pressure), the other group will get that plus screws and rods to stabilize the spine. The goal is to see which leads to better outcomes.
This trial compares two different surgical techniques for treating a narrowed spinal canal (stenosis) in your lower back. The goal is to determine which approach works better for reducing pain and improving function.
This study is comparing two surgical approaches for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the lower spine). It aims to see if a less invasive surgery works as well as a more extensive procedure, which may help patients recover faster.
This study compares two different surgical techniques – one using a small camera (endoscopic discectomy) and the other a traditional open approach (microdiscectomy) – to treat narrowing in the lower spine. It helps find which method may be better for relieving pain and improving function.
This trial tests two different surgical methods to create more space in the spinal canal of your neck. It aims to find which approach works better for people with a condition called cervical spondylotic myelopathy, which happens when the spinal cord gets squeezed.
This study is looking at a new, less invasive neck surgery for people with cervical spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck). It tests whether this surgery helps relieve symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.
