Conservative care for atlantoaxial dislocation without nerve symptoms
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares non-surgical treatment with surgery for people who have atlantoaxial dislocation (a neck joint problem) but no nerve-related symptoms like numbness or weakness. It aims to see if conservative care alone can be a good option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atlantoaxial dislocation, meaning the gap between the first two neck bones is larger than normal (over 3 mm for adults, over 5 mm for children).
- You have no nerve symptoms such as neck pain, trouble swallowing, hoarse voice, unsteady walking, or weakness in your arms or legs.
- You can choose between conservative treatment or surgery after learning about both options.
- You have not had surgery in the neck or skull-base area before.
- You do not have an infection, tumor, or recent fracture in that area.
- You have not been in another clinical trial in the last 3 months.

This trial aims to find the best ways to diagnose and treat a specific type of neck bone problem called atlantoaxial dislocation. It is for people who have this condition and are having surgery.
This study tests a new, less invasive surgery for a condition where the top two bones in the neck slip out of alignment (atlantoaxial dislocation). The surgeon uses a minimally invasive approach to fuse the bones together, which aims to reduce pain and instability and help you heal faster.
This study looks at surgical treatment for a specific type of neck bone dislocation that cannot be corrected without surgery. It may help patients whose imaging and traction testing show they need an operation to stabilize the neck.
This study compares how the spine changes over time after a fracture at the junction of the mid-back and lower back (thoracolumbar junction), whether treated with or without surgery. It aims to understand which treatment leads to better long-term spine health.
This study compares two approaches for people with mild cervical myelopathy, a condition where the spinal cord is squeezed in the neck. One group receives conservative (non-surgical) care, and the other receives a surgery called decompression. The goal is to see which approach helps maintain or improve function and quality of life.
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.
