Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to treat degenerated discs without surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with chronic lower back pain due to moderate disc degeneration in the lumbar spine, who haven't improved after trying at least two conservative treatments like pain meds or physical therapy. Participants should have a BMI under 35 and be able to follow the study's procedures for its duration.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
VIA Disc NP, an allograft supplementing nucleus pulposus tissue in degenerated discs, is being tested. The goal is to see if it can help alleviate symptoms of degenerative disc disease by providing additional support within the spinal structure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include reactions related to implantation such as discomfort at injection site, infection risk, or allergic responses especially if there's a known allergy to components of VIA Disc NP.
