This registry observes 500 adults who received a VIA Disc NP injection for disc-related back pain. Researchers track pain levels, disability, satisfaction, and pain medication use for up to a year. The goal is to see how patients fare in real-world settings.

This study is testing a bone graft implant called OsteoPearl in 25 adults aged 50 and older who have a spinal compression fracture. The implant is placed during a standard procedure to stabilize the fracture. Researchers will track pain and quality of life over 30 days to see if …

This study tests a new artificial disc implant (PerQdisc) placed during surgery for a herniated disc. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps reduce back and leg pain. About 50 adults with a single herniated disc in the lower back will take part. The implant is meant to replac…

This study compares two procedures—cryoablation (freezing) and radiofrequency ablation (heating)—to block pain signals from nerves in the lower back. 150 adults with chronic low back pain for at least 6 months will be treated and followed for 3 years. The goal is to see which met…

This study aimed to see if MRI scans could measure changes in spinal discs after physical therapy for back pain. Researchers planned to enroll Veterans with low back pain and use special MRI techniques to track disc health. The goal was to find out if these scans could predict wh…

This study looks at people with long-term lower back pain who may have early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), a type of arthritis that often takes years to diagnose. The goal is to help doctors spot the disease sooner and to test if early physical therapy can improve quality of l…
