NCT ID NCT07667348
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special device placed during disc surgery can help people return to normal activities faster by preventing the disc from herniating again. About 120 adults with a herniated disc in the lower back will be randomly assigned to different post-surgery activity plans. The main goal is to see if the device reduces the chance of a repeat herniation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
annular closure device (Barricaid)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that using an annular closure device lets people return to normal activities sooner after disc surgery with a lower risk of reherniation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 120 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The device itself carries surgical risks like infection or device failure.
