RECRUITING

Lumoptik BRIGHTPOINT Reflectometer Device for Lumbar Epidural Placement

NCT06020508 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the BrightPoint Epidural device as the first system to use multispectral reflectometry to find the epidural space in lumbar neuraxial procedures requiring epidural needle. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the device a qualitatively effective secondary confirmation of Loss of Resistance? 2. Is the device a qualitatively effective training tool for educating trainees in how to perform lumbar epidurals? Participants will undergo a neuraxial procedure in which the attending anesthesiologist will use the BrightPoint epidural device to form an opinion on its effectiveness in confirming epidural space access.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06020508

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06020508 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 36 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, which has 141 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Lumbar Spine Surgery appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Group 1 - Lumoptik BrightPoint Epidural Device is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06020508 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
