Study of a new neck surgery for spinal stenosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cervical spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in your neck) graded I, II, or III by your doctor.
- You have symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in your arms or legs (radicular or myelopathic symptoms).
- You have tried at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy or pain medicine.
- You have chosen to have a specific type of neck surgery called posterior uniportal endoscopic cervical decompression.
- You have not had prior surgery on the same part of your neck, and you do not have active infections, rheumatologic diseases, or certain other spine conditions.

This study looks at a newer, less invasive type of back surgery called endoscopic laminotomy. It may help people with lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) who still have leg or back pain after trying physical therapy and pain medicines for at least 3 months.
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.
This study compares two different surgical techniques – one using a small camera (endoscopic discectomy) and the other a traditional open approach (microdiscectomy) – to treat narrowing in the lower spine. It helps find which method may be better for relieving pain and improving function.
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 trial tests a less invasive spinal surgery using an endoscope (a small camera) to treat certain spine problems without fusing bones together, which may help you recover faster. It is for adults with specific types of back or leg pain from conditions like a failed previous fusion, a slipped vertebra, or a curved spine with narrowing.
This study tests a new spinal device to see how well it works for people with neck pain and spinal stenosis. It may help reduce pain and improve function.
