New implant for neck pain and nerve compression
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of implant that is placed in the back of your neck to help open up space for nerves and improve spine alignment. It may help people with pain, numbness, or weakness from a pinched nerve or spinal cord compression caused by wear-and-tear changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form to participate.
- You are having surgery on the back of your neck (posterior cervical spine surgery) for a degenerative condition.
- Your surgery is for a pinched nerve (radiculopathy) or spinal cord compression (myelopathy) caused by wear-and-tear changes.
- Your neck problem is not caused by an infection, tumor, or recent injury.

This trial tests a new device used during a two-level neck surgery to treat pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck or arms. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well.
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 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 study tests a new implanted metal plate and cage to treat problems in the neck caused by worn spinal discs and nerve or spinal cord compression. It is aimed at people whose symptoms have not improved with non-surgical care for at least 6 weeks (or who have worsening nerve/spinal cord symptoms).
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.
This trial compares two different implants used in neck surgery to treat worn-out discs. The goal is to see which implant works better for pain and recovery.
