RECRUITING NA

Rehabilitation With Empowered STrategies to Optimize REcovery

NCT07406997 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The main goal of this clinical trial is to understand the benefits of remotely delivered Empowered Relief in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. The main question the trial aims to answer is: Does a postoperative behavioral intervention, Empowered Relief, performed early after back surgery have a measurable impact on postoperative outcomes? Additional questions are whether changes in pain catastrophizing are related to improvements in outcomes and whether preoperative pain catastrophizing is a moderator of response to treatment. Researchers will compare remotely delivered Empowered Relief to remotely delivered education to see if Empowered Relief helps patients manage their pain and functional limitations after back surgery. Participants will: * Complete one group session of remotely delivered Empowered Relief or Education after back surgery * Complete surveys before surgery and 3- and 6-months after surgery

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07406997

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07406997 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, 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 100 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which has 695 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 2 conditions, with Lumbar Spine Surgery appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Empowered Relief 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: NCT07406997 reports 4 study locations spanning 4 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Hawaii, Tennessee, Texas. 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.
