New gel aims to stop painful scarring after back surgery
NCT ID NCT07153822
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new gel called Collabarrier® to see if it can prevent scar tissue from forming after back surgery for herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Sixty-nine adults having their first back surgery were randomly given either the new gel or an existing one. Researchers checked MRI scans and pain levels over six weeks to compare how well each gel worked.
