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.

This study looks at what factors help predict better neck pain after a specific type of neck surgery called ACDF. If you have a degenerative neck condition and are scheduled for this surgery, the results could help doctors understand what leads to the best pain relief.
This study looks at how cost-effective (good value for the money) anterior neck disc surgery is for people with nerve or spinal cord symptoms. If you need this type of operation, it may help doctors better choose treatments and plan healthcare resources.
This study tracks people after they get the MOVE-C artificial disc in the neck. It checks how well the device works over time and monitors safety and recovery.
This study compares two types of spacers (cages) used in neck surgery for worn discs. The goal is to see if a newer screw-in cage works better than the traditional cage to help fuse the bones and relieve pain.
This study looks at how cervical disc herniation affects sensation and daily function. If you have had neck pain for at least 3 months and have been diagnosed with cervical disc herniation, researchers want to compare your results to people without neck pain.
This study tests whether numbing blocks given near the spine improve recovery after ACDF neck surgery. It may help you have less pain and fewer side effects after your procedure.
