ClinConnect Summary

The Single Position Spine Surgery Registry is a clinical trial that is looking to understand the best surgical methods for patients undergoing spine fusion surgery, which is a procedure used to treat conditions like spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. The goal is to compare different techniques and see how they affect patient outcomes and the need for any follow-up surgeries in the long term.

To join this study, participants need to be at least 18 years old and should be comfortable speaking and reading in English. They must have a spinal condition that requires surgical treatment. However, individuals who are pregnant, currently incarcerated, or unable to provide informed consent due to mental health issues are not eligible. Participants in this trial can expect to be closely monitored and have their progress tracked over time, helping researchers gather valuable information that could improve future spine surgery practices.
