Comparing NeuroVision to standard neuromonitoring during spinal surgery
Official title: NeruoVision Versus Standard Hospital Neuromonitoring, Influence on the Rate of Neurologic Injury Following Spine Surgery? A Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by Rush University Medical Center · NCT04639297 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a new monitoring system called NeuroVision can help prevent nerve injuries during spinal surgery better than the standard monitoring methods.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients scheduled for primary single or multilevel lateral spinal surgery due to degenerative conditions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active infections, a history of malignancy, or recent spinal traumatic injuries may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of NeuroVision® intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) compared to conventional hospital-based IONM in patients undergoing lateral spinal surgery for degenerative conditions. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either NeuroVision® IONM or standard IONM during their surgery. The study will assess the incidence of new-onset neurological injuries postoperatively, providing insights into the safety and efficacy of the NeuroVision® system. By utilizing real-time monitoring, the trial seeks to enhance surgical outcomes and minimize risks associated with spinal procedures.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved neurological outcomes for patients undergoing spinal surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promise in the use of intraoperative neuromonitoring, but the specific application of NeuroVision® is relatively novel.
