Study dosing effects during monitored neck or chest spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial studies whether different medication dosing during monitored neck or upper chest spine surgery leads to better outcomes. You might help doctors figure out the most effective dosing approach for this type of surgery.

This study looks at how neck movement control changes after a common surgery (ACDF) for a damaged disc. It compares people having surgery with those who have neck pain but are not having surgery, to understand how the neck moves before and after treatment.
This trial studies how certain chemicals in your body and brain change after a type of back surgery called endoscopic decompression. If you have lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine) or a herniated disc and are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial looks at using a specific implant system during planned front-of-the-neck surgery (C2 to C7) for common neck problems like disc degeneration, injury, or spinal narrowing. It may help doctors compare outcomes with this particular hardware and surgical approach.
This trial studies specific neck (cervical) spine implants used during surgery for degenerative disc disease or neck instability, along with a particular kind of bone grafting and supporting hardware. It may help patients by testing whether these devices and the planned fusion approach work safely and effectively in real-world surgery.
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
This trial compares two types of artificial disc implants used for certain neck problems. It may help people who have tried non-surgical treatments but still have ongoing nerve symptoms or spinal cord issues from a damaged disc in the neck.
