Neck movement before and after disc surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how neck movement control changes after a common surgery (ACDF) for a damaged disc. It compares people having surgery with those who have neck pain but are not having surgery, to understand how the neck moves before and after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
