Carbofix Pedicle Screw System: Evaluation of the Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of the Use of a Carbon Fiber Device Compared to Titanium Devices in Patients Undergoing Spinal Arthrodesis for Degenerative Spinal Diseases

Phase N/A

Carbofix Pedicle Screw System Study is testing a new carbon fiber device for back surgery. This device helps people with spine problems, like degenerative spinal diseases (which means your spine is wearing out), get better by holding the spine stable. Carbon fiber is a special material that doesn't interfere with X-rays, MRI, or CT scans, making it easier for doctors to see how well the surgery is doing. This study wants to compare how this carbon device works against the usual titanium (a strong metal) devices.

Key Points:

  • The study needs 118 adults who need 1-2 levels of spine fusion surgery.
  • Participants must be able to visit the doctor for follow-ups and sign consent forms.
  • People with certain diseases, or who are pregnant, can't join.

If you're interested, this study could help improve spine surgeries with fewer radiation problems and clearer images for doctors.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
