Cell therapy for low back pain from disc disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if injecting a special cell therapy into a damaged spinal disc can reduce chronic low back pain. It is for people who have had low back pain for at least 6 months and haven't gotten enough relief from other treatments like physical therapy or pain medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an investigational gene therapy injected into the spine for people with long-term low back pain caused by degenerative disc disease. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable, and whether it can reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests an experimental treatment that injects donated disc tissue (called an allograft) into damaged discs in your lower back. It's designed for people with chronic low back pain from disc degeneration who haven't found relief from non-surgical treatments.
This trial is testing a treatment approach for people with long-lasting, painful worn-out discs in the lower back (and sometimes leg pain). It looks for people who tried common non-surgical options without enough relief and who may be headed toward a lumbar procedure.
This study tests if an injection can help people with a herniated disc in the lower back who have not gotten better with other treatments and are already planning surgery. It aims to see if the injection can reduce symptoms and possibly avoid or improve surgery outcomes.
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.
This trial tests a gel (HYDRAFIL-D) injected into painful discs in your lower back to see if it relieves pain. It's for people whose back pain hasn't improved with other treatments.
