NCT ID NCT05633550
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a standardized way of taking spine X-rays gives consistent results. 45 people with back or leg pain will have two sets of X-rays to see if the measurements match. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose spinal instability.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more reliable way to diagnose spinal instability using X-rays, helping surgeons decide on the best treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage reliability study, not a treatment trial. The standardized protocol may not improve diagnosis enough to change clinical practice.
