NCT ID NCT07177651

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two types of back surgery for people with narrowing of the spine in the neck (cervical stenosis). The goal is to see which surgery better improves nerve function and quality of life. Only 2 adults aged 40 and older who need surgery will take part, and they will be followed for 6 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

surgery (laminoplasty or laminectomy with lateral mass fixation)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show which surgical approach is better for relieving nerve pressure and improving function in people with cervical spinal stenosis.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early study with only 2 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both surgeries carry risks like infection or nerve damage.
