Spine surgery tool tested for better alignment
NCT ID NCT07023393
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to test a new tool that helps surgeons measure and adjust the spine during fusion surgery. The goal was to see if using the tool leads to better spinal alignment and improved patient outcomes, such as less disability. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Intraoperative spinal measurement system (Paradigm TM System by Proprio)
- What this could lead to
- If it had worked, this tool could help surgeons better align the spine during fusion surgery, potentially leading to fewer repeat surgeries and better recovery.
- What could go wrong
- The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data was collected. Even if tested, the tool might not improve outcomes or could have technical limitations.
