Dural pulsation in lumbar spinal stenosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a natural movement called dural pulsation (pulsing of the spinal sac) in people with lumbar spinal stenosis. It might help doctors understand the condition better and could lead to better treatments for your back or leg pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have low back or leg pain caused by a narrowed spinal canal (lumbar spinal stenosis).
- An MRI confirms at least one area of narrowing that matches your symptoms.
- You are willing to take part in the study.
- You do not have a BMI of 35 or higher.
- You have not had back surgery before.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a simple physical test (the Dubousset test) to see if it can help measure how well people with lumbar spinal stenosis can move and function. If you have chronic lower back pain from this condition, you may be able to join to help doctors better understand your abilities.
This trial tests a minimally invasive (“through the skin”) procedure that places a small spacer between back bones to relieve lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms like leg pain when walking. It may help people who still need surgery based on their symptoms and MRI findings but may be treated without open surgery.
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 is tracking how active people are before and after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (a common cause of back and leg pain in older adults). It aims to see if activity monitoring can help improve recovery.
This Phase 2 study looks at whether a long-lasting local pain medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) can improve recovery and outcomes after surgery for lumbar stenosis (narrowing in the lower spine). You may be considered if you’re an adult needing decompression surgery and do not have reasons that would make surgery unsafe or different from the study’s plan.
This study looks at how muscle degeneration relates to nerve-related symptoms in people with chronic low back pain. You may be eligible if you’ve tried non-surgical care but still need surgery to relieve nerve pressure.
