Pain relief after cervical spine surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after neck surgery. It looks for patients scheduled for a specific neck procedure called anterior cervical discectomy.
