Massive spine device registry launches to see how medtronic tools perform in real surgeries
NCT ID NCT05856370
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study will follow 1,000 people receiving Medtronic spinal or cranial devices during routine surgery. Researchers will track outcomes like fusion success, pain relief, and device safety for up to two years. The goal is to gather real-world data on how these already-approved products perform in everyday clinical practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Medtronic spinal and cranial devices (hardware, biologics, robotics, imaging, and energy tools)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study will provide real-world evidence on how well these already-approved devices work in everyday practice, potentially improving surgical guidelines and patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational-style post-market study, not a controlled trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may be influenced by differences in patient care or surgeon technique.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject provides written informed consent per institution and/or geographical requirements. 2. Subject is intended to receive or be treated with an eligible Medtronic Cranial and Spinal Technology (CST) device(s) (see product appendices), used alone or in combination, for a cranial and/or spinal indication(s). 3. Subject is at least 18 years of age or minimum legal age as required by local regulations. 4. Subject agrees to complete all required assessments per the Schedule of Events. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is currently enrolled or plans to enroll in concurrent drug/device/biologic trial(s) that may confound this trial's results per investigator assessment (i.e. no required intervention that could affect interpretation of all-around device safety and or performance). 2. Subject who is, or is expected to be, inaccessible for all required follow-up visits. 3. Subject with exclusion criteria required by local law. 4. Subject is considered vulnerable at the time of obtaining consent.
