First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a robotic system called Epione to help doctors place needles or instruments into the bones of the pelvis and spine. The goal is to see if the robot makes these procedures more feasible, safe, and accurate compared to doing them by hand. Sixty adults who are already scheduled for such procedures will take part, and the robot will assist with the needle placement.

What this could lead to
