Hard collar use after cervical spine fusion
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares recovery outcomes with and without a hard cervical collar after posterior cervical fusion surgery. You may qualify if you have degenerative disk disease and are scheduled for this type of spine surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with degenerative disk disease.
- You have one of these conditions: cervical spondylotic myelopathy, cervical deformity, or pseudoarthrosis.
- You have not had trauma, tumors, or infections in the cervical spine.

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 well a specific neck surgery (posterior cervical fusion using added spacers) works for people with long-standing, non-traumatic neck wear-and-tear problems. It will track outcomes using symptoms and imaging to see if the surgery improves function and healing.
This trial tests a new combination of a cage and bone graft putty for spinal fusion surgery. It is for people with degenerative disc disease or a herniated disc in the neck or lower back that needs surgery.
This trial studies specific surgical hardware used to stabilize the back of the neck and upper back during spine surgery. It may help surgeons compare outcomes for people needing fixation for trauma, instability, failed prior fusion, tumors, or certain degenerative conditions.
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.
This study tests if a neck brace (orthosis) works well for treating stable neck fractures without surgery. It may be an option if you have a recent, mild neck break and are healthy enough for non-surgical care.
