Fortilink-SC device study for neck and spinal stenosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had neck pain for at least 6 weeks that has not improved with non-surgical treatments.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of degenerative disc disease in your neck (between the second and first thoracic vertebrae).
- You have spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).
- You are an adult with fully grown bones (skeletally mature).
- You are willing to follow the study plan, including surgery, rehab, and follow-up visits.

This study tests an implant placed in the lower spine to treat back pain caused by disc degeneration. It aims to see if the implant helps reduce pain and improve function in people who have not improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a special implant (FFX®) that stabilizes the lower spine while relieving pressure on nerves in people with spinal stenosis. It's for patients who need surgery but have not had previous back surgery and whose pain has not improved with conservative care.
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 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 studies a new spine implant placed between the bones to help relieve low back pain. You may be a candidate if imaging shows mild-to-moderate spinal narrowing and you’ve already tried non-surgical treatments for at least 3 months.
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.
