Infusing your own blood during spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether collecting your blood during surgery and giving it back to you afterward is safe and helpful for large spine surgeries. It is for adults with specific types of severe spine curves or who need extensive back surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having a major spine surgery for a severe curve or deformity, like a large scoliosis or imbalance.
- You do not have an active spine infection or tumor.
- Your surgery is not for a recent injury or a condition present at birth.
- You are not pregnant or in prison.

This trial looks at how often blood transfusions are needed during scoliosis surgery in children and whether using a device that recycles lost blood (cell saver) can reduce that need.
This study tests the safety and effectiveness of using your own blood (collected before surgery) during spine surgery for lung cancer that has spread to the backbone. It may help people whose spine is unstable or causing nerve problems.
This trial tests a technique called 'barrier disrupting fields' during spine surgery to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier. This may allow doctors to collect a liquid biopsy (a blood test that looks for tumor DNA) to better understand spinal tumors.
This study compares two types of fluids—one made from donated human blood plasma and one a standard salt-solution—given during scoliosis surgery in children and teenagers. The goal is to see which fluid helps patients recover safely and with fewer complications.
This trial looks at whether a specific iron infusion (ferric derisomaltose) can help treat anemia after spinal deformity surgery. You may be eligible if your blood counts show anemia soon after surgery and it’s likely due to iron deficiency.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether tranexamic acid can reduce bleeding during major spine fusion surgery for adults with scoliosis or spine degeneration. It may help lessen blood loss and the need for transfusions, while monitoring safety.
