NCT ID NCT07187362
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 grafts. The goal was to see which option works best for helping the spine heal and reducing pain.
