Prone lumbar disc surgery: how breathing and brain oxygen relate
This study will observe whether changes in breathing mechanics during prone lumbar disc surgery relate to brain oxygen levels in adults.
-
Effect of Irrigation Pressure on Postoperative Complications and Surgical Field Clarity in Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery
This study tests whether the height of the irrigation fluid bag and the direction of the surgical cut affect fluid pressure, visibility, and early recovery in adults undergoing unilateral biportal endoscopic spine surgery.

Acute Effects of Neurodynamics on Hamstrings in Athletes
This study tests whether neurodynamic techniques can help athletes keep or improve hamstring strength and endurance.
-
High-Intensity Laser Therapy vs Epidural Injection for Chronic Lumbar Disc Herniation Pain
This trial tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can relieve chronic low back and leg pain as well as a transforaminal epidural steroid injection in adults with lumbar disc herniation.
-
Preoperative factors that influence recovery of leg strength after lumbar microdiscectomy
This project will try to find which before-surgery factors predict how well adults with leg weakness from a herniated lower-back disc get their strength back after microdiscectomy.
-
Bone marrow concentrate injection added to lumbar microdiscectomy
This trial tests whether adding a bone marrow aspirate concentrate injection during lumbar microdiscectomy helps adults recover better than surgery alone.
-
Focused TECAR therapy for lower back pain from a herniated lumbar disc
This project will test whether focused radiofrequency (TECAR) therapy combined with a home exercise program helps reduce pain and improve function and quality of life in adults aged 20–60 with lumbar disc herniation.
-
Erector spinae plane block versus interlaminar epidural steroid injection for lumbar disc herniation pain
This study will test whether ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane blocks or fluoroscopy-guided interlaminar epidural steroid injections give better short-term pain and function relief for adults with L4-5 or L5-S1 lumbar disc herniation who haven't improved with conservative care.
-
When to start rehab after unilateral biportal endoscopic surgery for a lumbar disc herniation
This test will see if starting rehabilitation two weeks versus six weeks after unilateral biportal endoscopic spine surgery helps adults with lumbar disc herniation recover better.
-
Cutibacterium acnes and degenerative lumbar disc disease after microdiscectomy
This project will try to see if the bacterium Cutibacterium acnes is linked to degenerative lumbar disc disease in adults who had microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation.
-
Biomechanical evaluation of lumbar disc herniation treatment using lever positioning manipulation
This study is testing different ways of using a special manipulation technique to see if it can help people with lumbar disc herniation feel better.
-
Comparing non-drug treatments to drug treatments for lumbar disc herniation
This study is testing whether non-drug treatments like acupuncture and manual therapy work better than medication for adults with moderate to severe pain from lumbar disc herniation.
-
Observational study on outcomes of lumbar spine surgery
This study is looking at how well different types of back surgery work for people with issues like herniated disks and spinal stenosis by tracking their pain, function, and satisfaction over time.
-
Comparing outcomes of lumbar disc herniation surgery with and without DIVA® implant
This study is testing whether using the DIVA® implant during surgery for a herniated disc helps patients recover better and reduces the need for more surgeries compared to those who don't get the implant.
-
Using regional anesthesia to reduce opioid use in spine surgery
This study is testing if a special pain management technique can help people having spine surgery use less opioid medication after their operation.
-
Predicting success of epidural injections for sciatica treatment
This study is trying to find out which factors can help predict how well epidural injections will work for people with sciatica caused by a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.

Impact of muscle degeneration on chronic low back pain after surgery
This study looks at how muscle loss affects ongoing back pain in people who have surgery for spine problems, to help improve recovery and predict results.
-
Using epidural steroids during surgery for lumbar disc herniation
This study is testing if giving steroids during back surgery for a herniated disc can help reduce inflammation and improve recovery compared to a placebo.
