New surgical system for neck and upper back instability
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical system called SYMPHONY OCT, designed to stabilize the neck and upper back. If you have instability from a fracture, failed fusion, or tumor, this trial may help find a better treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an unstable neck or upper back (from a fracture, failed fusion, or tumor).
- You are a candidate for surgery (no severe medical problems or active infections).
- You do not have osteoporosis or brittle bones.
- You are not taking long-term steroids (like prednisone).
- You do not have a serious systemic disease (like rheumatoid arthritis, AIDS, or HIV).
- You are willing to fill out health questionnaires before and after surgery.

This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
This study follows people who receive a Synergy Disc implant to treat neck pain or nerve problems. It collects real-world information on how well the disc works and how safe it is over time.
This trial studies specific neck (cervical) spine implants used during surgery for degenerative disc disease or neck instability, along with a particular kind of bone grafting and supporting hardware. It may help patients by testing whether these devices and the planned fusion approach work safely and effectively in real-world surgery.
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 well a specific neck surgery (posterior cervical fusion using added spacers) works for people with long-standing, non-traumatic neck wear-and-tear problems. It will track outcomes using symptoms and imaging to see if the surgery improves function and healing.
This study collects real-world information about people who get the Synergy cervical disc implant after neck surgery for nerve or spinal cord pressure. It may help doctors understand how well the implant works in everyday care and what outcomes to expect.
