Comparing two types of cages for lower back fusion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to add support between the bones in your lower back (lumbar fusion) using special implants called cages. It might help if you have long-lasting low back pain from disc problems that haven't improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have low back pain caused by a disc problem that shows up on X-rays or MRI scans.
- You have tried other treatments (like medicine or physical therapy) for at least 6 months without relief.
- You are in generally good health and can safely undergo surgery.

This study tests a new type of expandable cage used with a bone graft from the back of your spine. It is for people with one-level lower back problems like a slipped disc or narrowing of the spine canal that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study compares two types of spacers (cages) used in neck surgery for worn discs. The goal is to see if a newer screw-in cage works better than the traditional cage to help fuse the bones and relieve pain.
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 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.
This study compares two types of cages used in spinal fusion surgery for people with osteoporosis. It aims to see if one type leads to better bone healing and stability.
This study compares two types of cages used in lumbar fusion surgery: one made with titanium nanotubes and one made of titanium. The aim is to see if the nanotube cage improves bone fusion and patient outcomes. Participants must have degenerative disc disease and have failed non-surgical care.
