NCT ID NCT05182489

First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study compares two types of implants used in spine surgery: a new titanium cage with a special rough surface and a standard plastic cage. About 100 adults with spine problems like narrowing of the spinal canal or worn-out discs will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two cages. The main goal is to see which cage helps the spine bones fuse together better at 6 months after surgery.
