Disorders and Diseases of the Spine Research Studies

We are proud to host an array of clinical trials for our patients so that they can take advantage of some of the newest treatment options for their conditions, and test some of the most recent technological innovations in neurosurgery. Our clinical trial efforts are assisted by collaborations with the Rhode Island Hospital (Level 1 Trauma Center) & Hasbro Children’s Hospital Emergency Departments, the Brown University Health Cancer Center, and the Norman Prince Spine Institute.

Below are some of our ongoing clinical trials:

AO Foundation MTRON Study – ENROLLING Subjects; PI Dr. Ziya Gokaslan MD

Registry study enrolling patients undergoing neurosurgical treatment for metastatic cancer to the spine of any kind. Sponsored by the AO Spine Foundation, an international consortium of physicians who treat tumors and cancers of the spine, this registry will track long-term patient outcomes and potential benefits of surgical intervention by following enrolled subjects from pre-operative enrollment through disease resolution.

AO Foundation PTRON Study – ENROLLING Subjects; PI Dr. Ziya Gokaslan MD

Registry study enrolling patients undergoing neurosurgical treatment for primary tumors of the spine and sacrum. Sponsored by the AO Spine Foundation, an international consortium of physicians who treat tumors and cancers of the spine, this registry will track long-term patient outcomes and potential benefits of surgical intervention by following enrolled subjects from pre-operative enrollment through disease resolution.
