Neuro-Patch under the microscope: Real-World surgery study launched
NCT ID NCT04189172
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is observing 328 adults who receive a Neuro-Patch during brain or spine surgery to repair the protective lining around the brain or spinal cord. Researchers are tracking complications and how easy the patch is for surgeons to use. The goal is to gather real-world data on the patch's performance in everyday medical practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Neuro-Patch (synthetic patch used to repair the brain's protective lining)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that Neuro-Patch is safe and easy to use in routine brain and spine surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the patch works better than alternatives. Results may not apply to all patients or surgical settings.
