Comparing two types of cervical spine implants for neck surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have neck pain or nerve symptoms from a worn-out disc in your neck, confirmed by an MRI.
- You have tried non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy or medication) for at least 6 weeks without enough relief.
- You are scheduled for a specific type of neck surgery called ACDF (removing a damaged disc and fusing the bones).
- You have not had neck surgery before.
- You do not have severe neck instability, fractures, tumors, infections, or osteoporosis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 studies how well specific lumbar (lower back) implant “cages” help fuse vertebrae in people with degenerative disc disease, spinal slippage, narrowing, curvature, or forward-bending deformity. It may help by testing an approach to improve stability and reduce symptoms after surgery.
This study compares two materials used during neck surgery for degenerative disc disease: donor bone (structural allograft) versus a titanium cage (Tritanium C). It aims to see which option works better for healing the fused neck bones and improving symptoms.
This trial compares two ways of placing supportive cages in the lower spine during a fusion surgery — either two straight cages or one curved (banana) cage. The goal is to see which approach gives better pain relief and stability for people with disc problems.
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 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.
