NCT ID NCT06904898
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of implants used in back surgery for people with worn-out discs in the lower spine. About 60 adults will receive either a PEEK cage with bone-growing protein or a CONDUIT cage during a procedure called DLIF. Researchers will check which cage leads to better bone fusion and patient recovery.
