Open-door neck surgery plan for cervical spinal narrowing
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, 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.

- 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 looks at two different surgical approaches to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy, a condition where the spinal cord is compressed in the neck. By comparing them, doctors hope to find a better way to relieve pressure and improve symptoms.
This study compares two common types of neck surgery for people whose spinal canal (the space around the spinal cord) has become narrowed, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. The goal is to see which operation helps people recover better while keeping the spine stable.
This study is looking at how well standard surgery works for people with neck spine degeneration. It gathers information from many patients to better understand outcomes and improve care.
