What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study compares robot-assisted spine surgery to the traditional method in 300 adults needing spinal fusion. The goal is to see if the robot helps place screws more accurately, reduces complications, and improves patient outcomes. Participants are randomly assigned to either robot-assisted or conventional surgery, and results are evaluated by independent radiologists.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
robot-assisted surgery (Mazor X Stealth)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that robot-assisted spine surgery is safer and more precise than traditional methods, potentially reducing complications and improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with 300 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or patients. The robot may not improve outcomes enough to justify its cost.
