NCT07556978
The goal of this observational post-market study is to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of the ITC CERVICAL device, a CE-marked implantable cervical interbody fusion cage, in adult patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for symptomatic cervical degenerative disc disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the ITC CERVICAL device improve neck disability and pain after surgery? 2. Does the device demonstrate adequate radiological performance in terms of cervical alignment, implant stability, and fusion-related outcomes? 3. Is the device safe when used according to its intended purpose? Researchers will review retrospective clinical and radiological data from patients previously treated with the ITC CERVICAL device between 2020 and 2024. The outcomes assessed will include neck disability, pain intensity, neurological function, general health status, cervical lordosis, implant subsidence or migration, need for revision surgery, and the occurrence of adverse events. Participants included in the study are adult patients who previously underwent two- or three-level ACDF surgery with implantation of the ITC CERVICAL device as part of routine clinical care. Clinical data collected before surgery, within 5 days after surgery, and at 3 months follow-up will be analyzed to assess the device's clinical benefits and safety profile.
NCT04041583
This is a prospective study to assess fusion rates and cervical sagittal parameters following posterior cervical arthrodesis procedures supplemented with CIS. Data will be collected from medical records for up to 730 days after surgery. Data to be collected will be demographic, preoperative clinical information, surgical details, and radiographic information. Patients will also undergo a non-standard of care CT scan 2 years after surgery.
NCT04640896
To achieve appropriate exposure for an anterior neck surgery (for example an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion or ACDF), patients are positioned supine with their neck extended. Due to being in this position, patients frequently complain of posterior neck stiffness and pain postoperatively in addition to the anterior incisional pain. This posterior cervical pain can be classified as myofascial pain. Cervical myofascial pain is thought to be the result of overuse or trauma to the supporting muscles of the neck and shoulders. Trigger point injections are one of the methods used to treat myofascial pain. The trigger point injection procedure is where a physician (typically an anesthesiologist) performs an exam of the patient neck and upper back and finds areas of point tenderness. The physician will then inject a small amount of numbing medication (such as bupivacaine) into the muscle or tissue in that area. Trigger point injections have been shown to be superior to botox injections or dry needling, and equivalent to physical therapy. However, these studies were performed on patients with chronic neck pain. There are no studies evaluating the effectiveness of trigger point injections on post anterior cervical surgery patients. At our institution, trigger point injections with local anesthetic are used as part of a multimodal pain control regimen for post-anterior cervical surgery patients. Our hypothesis is if the addition of trigger point injections to standard of care multi-modal post-operative pain control will decrease patients' myofascial pain, and thereby decrease the amount of narcotic pain medication used.
NCT03177473
This study examines the effect of adjunctive use of the CervicalStim bone growth stimulator on cervical fusion rate in high risk subjects who have undergone cervical fusion surgery. All participants will wear the bone growth stimulator every day for 4 hours/day for 6 months.
NCT04605120
This is a prospective, single arm, single center clinical study to evaluate efficacy and safety of a Supercritical CO2 viral-inactivated allogenic bone paste in cervical interbody fusion. Patient eligible for 1- or 2-level ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion) combined with bone graft after failure of well-conducted medical treatment will be screened for the study.
