DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE

This study looked at how well ViviGen, a bone graft made from donated human bone cells, helps fuse neck bones in people having 2- or 3-level neck surgery. 100 patients were followed to see if their bones fused and how their pain and function improved. The goal was to gather real-…

This study tested a new device called the HYDRAFIL system for people with long-term low back pain from worn-out spinal discs. 35 adults who had not gotten better with standard treatments received the implant. The main goal was to see if the device could be safely placed and help …

This study tested a special spinal implant (the Keos Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device) in 25 adults with degenerative disc disease or related spine conditions. The goal was to see how well the device helped bones fuse and how it affected pain and quality of life. Participants had s…

This study followed 361 adults with degenerative disc disease who had minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery. The goal was to see how well these procedures reduce disability and pain over 5 years. Researchers compared different surgical approaches to find which works best for p…

This study tested a new type of spine surgery called ILIF for people with degenerative disc disease, a condition where spinal discs wear down causing pain and nerve issues. 77 adults over 40 who had not improved with other treatments received the surgery. Researchers measured cha…

This study tested Osteocel Plus, a bone graft material that contains stem cells, in 28 adults with degenerative disc disease who needed spinal fusion surgery. The goal was to see if it helps the spine bones fuse together as well as standard bone grafts. Researchers measured fusio…

This study tested Osteocel Plus, a special bone graft that contains stem cells, in 19 people with degenerative disc disease who needed spinal fusion surgery. The goal was to see if the graft helps bones fuse together as well as the standard method using the patient's own bone. Th…

This study looked at using Osteocel Plus, a bone graft material, in a type of spine surgery called XLIF for people with degenerative disc disease and back pain. 104 adults aged 18-80 who needed fusion of one or two lower spine segments were enrolled. The main goal was to see how …

This study looked at the safety and performance of two types of expandable spine implants (MLX and XLX ACR) in 109 adults with degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or scoliosis. Researchers tracked complications, bone fusion, and improvement in nerve symptoms after surge…

This study tested a new plate system used during spine fusion surgery in 75 adults with conditions like degenerative disc disease or scoliosis. The goal was to see if the plate is safe and helps bones fuse together properly. Researchers measured pain relief and fusion success ove…

This study looked at how safe and well a new spinal implant (Modulus ALIF System) works in 123 adults having back surgery. The patients had conditions like worn-out discs or slipped vertebrae. The main goals were to check for complications and see if the bones fused properly afte…

This study tested a new 3D-printed titanium implant for spine fusion surgery in 36 adults with degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or scoliosis. The implant is designed to help bones in the spine grow together after surgery. Researchers looked at safety, how well the bo…

This early-stage trial tested an experimental treatment called IDCT (injectable disc cell therapy) in 38 people with chronic low back pain due to degenerative disc disease. Participants received either a low or high dose of the cell therapy or a sham procedure. The goal was to ch…

This study looked at how well a bone graft material called Natural Matrix Protein (NMP™) works in 53 patients who had spinal fusion surgery for degenerative disc disease. The main goal was to see if the bones fused properly on CT scans and X-rays. Researchers also measured change…

This study looked at different bone graft materials used during spinal fusion surgery for people with degenerative disc disease. About 119 patients were randomly assigned to receive either their own bone, a protein that stimulates bone growth, or one of three stem-cell-based graf…

This study compared two methods of pain control for people having back fusion surgery: a nerve block given before surgery versus numbing medicine injected at the end. Researchers measured pain, inflammation, confusion after surgery, and overall recovery in 29 adults. The goal is …
