Neck pain improvement after cervical spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at what factors help predict better neck pain after a specific type of neck surgery called ACDF. If you have a degenerative neck condition and are scheduled for this surgery, the results could help doctors understand what leads to the best pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for a one- or two-level ACDF surgery to treat a degenerative spine condition.
- You must be able to understand and agree to take part in the study.
- You must not have had any previous neck surgery or neck injury.
- You must not have other conditions that cause neck pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or fibromyalgia.
- Your average neck pain in the last week must be at least 3 out of 10 on a pain scale.

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 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 study tests whether numbing blocks given near the spine improve recovery after ACDF neck surgery. It may help you have less pain and fewer side effects after your procedure.
This study looks at whether starting physical therapy soon after ACDF neck surgery helps people recover better. It compares early physical therapy to standard care.
