Move sooner, heal faster? new study tests early PT after neck surgery

NCT ID NCT06202443

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether starting physical therapy soon after neck surgery (ACDF) helps people recover better than waiting. About 76 adults who had surgery for a worn-down neck will be split into two groups: one starts PT right away, the other later. Researchers will measure pain, disability, and function to see which group does better.
