About Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within the spine that can put pressure on the nerves traveling through it. It most commonly occurs in the lower back and neck. Treatment includes physical therapy, medications, steroid injections, and decompression surgery.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for spinal stenosis. Currently, 11 studies are recruiting a combined 10,523 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 11 organizations including Stryker Instruments, Columbia University, Georgetown University and 8 others.

Analysis of Lumbar Spine Stenosis Specimens for Identification of Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis
Primary objective: To identify older adults with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) early in the course of the illness, at a time when disease modifying therapies are most effective. The specific aims of this epidemiologic investigation include: 1. To identify subjects with previous lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) Surgery who have evidence of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid deposits in spinal...
Hard Cervical Collar Use Following Posterior Cervical Fusion
Postoperative immobilization with a hard cervical collar following posterior cervical fusion remains common practice despite limited evidence demonstrating improved clinical outcomes. This is a prospective, multi-site, randomized clinical trial evaluating postoperative hard cervical collar use following posterior cervical fusion for degenerative cervical spine disease. Eligible patients will be ra...
