Testing a new spinal implant for lower back fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in your leg, buttock, or low back due to a worn-out disc in your lower back (L4 to S1).
- You have tried non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or pain medicine for at least 6 weeks and they haven't helped enough.
- Your back problems are disabling enough to score high on a disability questionnaire (Oswestry score > 40).
- You have not had previous spine surgery at the same levels in your lower back.

This study tests a new imaging tool called Nociscan to see if it helps doctors decide who will benefit from lumbar spine surgery for low back pain. It may help predict surgical outcomes and guide treatment.
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 tests a new bone graft material called LDGraft for people who need a single-level lower back fusion (anterior lumbar interbody fusion). It aims to see if the new graft is as good as or better than current options for helping bones heal together.
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 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.
