FIBERGRAFT Aeridyan Posterolateral Fusion Study
“Volunteer for research and contribute to discoveries that may improve health care for you, your family, and your community!”
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This is a post-market, prospective, controlled, multicenter clinical study to evaluate radiographic fusion and clinical outcomes of FIBERGRAFT™ Aeridyan Matrix bone graft substitute in subjects who undergo a 1-3 level instrumented lumbar posterolateral fusion surgery. This clinical study will be conducted at up to 10 clinical sites within the United States.

VR-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Prehabilitation for Spinal Deformity Surgery
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a virtual reality-based cognitive behavioral therapy (VR-CBT) prehabilitation program can improve recovery and quality of life for adults undergoing elective spine surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does participating in an 8-week VR-CBT prehabilitation program before surgery improve physical function and pain-related outcomes at 12 months after surgery? Does VR-CBT prehabilitation reduce postoperative anxiety, depression, and pain interference compared with usual preoperative care? Researchers will compare participants who receive the VR-CBT prehabilitation program plus usual care to participants who receive usual preoperative care alone to see if the VR-CBT program leads to better recovery and patient-reported outcomes. Participants will: Use a VR headset at home to complete structured CBT-based prehabilitation sessions over 8 weeks before surgery. Attend routine clinic visits and complete questionnaires about pain, function, mood, and quality of life before surgery and through 12 months after surgery. Allow the research team to review their medical records for information about surgery, complications, and postoperative recovery.
