SPONDYLOLISTHESIS

This study tests whether carbon fiber screws work as well as titanium ones for spinal fusion in people with degenerative disc disease. Carbon fiber allows clearer MRI and CT scans after surgery, which may help doctors monitor healing better. About 118 adults needing one or two le…

This study is testing a device called the Minuteman G5 Fusion Plate, which is already approved for use, to see how well it helps people with chronic low back pain caused by degenerative spine conditions. About 150 adults who are candidates for this surgery will be followed for a …

This study is testing whether a special bone scan (SPECT/CT) can predict which patients with chronic back pain will have good results from lumbar fusion surgery. Researchers will measure how much the scan lights up in the spine and compare it to pain and disability scores one yea…

This study compares two techniques used during lumbar fusion surgery to see which one better reduces bleeding and pain after the operation. About 62 adults having back fusion surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either a large-volume injection of numbing medicine with a v…

This study tests whether taking melatonin, a natural sleep aid, can help teens aged 12-18 sleep better and recover faster after major musculoskeletal surgery (like scoliosis or hip surgery). About 45 teens will receive either a fast-dissolve melatonin pill or a placebo daily. The…

This study is a registry that collects information from children and teens up to age 21 who are having spine surgery with robotic and navigation tools. The goal is to track how accurately screws are placed and how much radiation patients and surgeons receive. No new treatment is …

This study is tracking 561 people who have already had spine surgery using METROSAN spinal implants and BONEGRAFT bone fillers. Researchers want to see how well these devices work and if any new safety issues pop up over a year. It's an observational study, meaning patients get s…

This study is building a database of information from 300 adults who have had spine surgery using a special device called the Implanet Jazz System. The goal is to collect measurements like pain levels and quality of life to help doctors learn more and improve future treatments. P…
