Tests different artificial discs for neck nerve and spinal cord problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old and have finished growing
- Your main neck problem is nerve pain/tingling and/or spinal cord pressure from one disc level in C3 to C7
- You have tried non-surgical treatments for at least 6 weeks and they did not help enough
- You plan to have cervical disc replacement (artificial disc surgery) for your main complaint
- You can sign consent and complete follow-up visits and questionnaires reliably
- You have no prior surgery in your neck (cervical spine)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
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 whether an operation to remove and decompress damaged neck discs (and fuse the area) helps people with painful nerve problems in the neck/arm. It’s meant for cases where non-surgery treatments haven’t worked and imaging shows the problem matches your symptoms.
This study tests a combination of a disc replacement (Mobi-C) and a spinal fusion (ACDF) for people with degenerative disc disease at two levels in the neck. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for relieving pain and nerve symptoms.
This study checks how safe and how well a specific artificial disc (the NuVasive Simplify Disc) works over the long term at two implant sizes/levels. It is for people who were already enrolled in an earlier disc study and are still willing to participate.
