Open-door neck surgery plan for cervical spinal narrowing
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a more tailored and standardized surgical approach for people with neck spinal narrowing and spinal cord symptoms. It may help doctors compare and improve how well surgery works for different patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have neck spinal narrowing involving levels C3 to C7, with spinal cord symptoms

This study looks at how measurements from symptoms, exams, and MRI results relate to recovery after a specific type of neck surgery (“single open-door” surgery). It may help doctors better predict who is more likely to do well after this operation.
This study follows adults with degenerative narrowing in the neck spine to see how symptoms and function change over time. It may help doctors better understand which patients improve or worsen, and why.
This study is looking at a new, less invasive neck surgery for people with cervical spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck). It tests whether this surgery helps relieve symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.
This study compares two surgical techniques to relieve pressure on the spinal cord in the neck. It aims to see which method provides better results for people with a narrowed spinal canal causing symptoms.
This trial tests two different surgical methods to create more space in the spinal canal of your neck. It aims to find which approach works better for people with a condition called cervical spondylotic myelopathy, which happens when the spinal cord gets squeezed.
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.
