Titanium implant for lower back disc pain
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a new titanium implant to help stabilize the lower spine in people with painful, worn-out discs. It aims to see if the implant works well and is safe in everyday practice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult whose bones have stopped growing.
- You have had back pain from a worn-out disc in your lower back for at least 6 months, and treatments without surgery have not helped enough.
- The problem must be in one or two nearby spots between the second and fifth lumbar vertebrae.
- You cannot have an active infection, severe osteoporosis, tumors in the spine, or other conditions that could put too much stress on the implant.
- You must be willing to follow the post-surgery plan and attend follow-up visits.
- You cannot be pregnant or have any condition that would make surgery unsafe.

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 trial studies a new spinal implant system (Hexanium TLIF) for people with degenerative disc disease. It aims to see if the implant is safe and works well to help with back pain and stability.
This study compares two types of cages used in a spinal fusion surgery to see if one helps bones heal better and reduces pain. It may help people with degenerative disc disease in the lower back who haven't improved with other treatments.
This study tracks how well spinal implants (Titania systems) and bone-filling materials (BONEGRAFT) work after surgery and whether patients experience any problems. Researchers will follow patients after cervical or lower spine surgery to confirm these devices are safe and effective in real-world use.
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 compares two different implanted materials (titanium vs. PEEK) used in a one-level spinal fusion for people with lumbar stenosis and spondylolisthesis. It’s meant to see which device performs better after surgery for pain and leg symptoms when non-surgical treatments haven’t helped.
