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

Summary

This study compares a new, less invasive surgical technique to standard open surgery for placing screws in the neck and upper back bones. The goal is to see if the new approach reduces pain and improves recovery. About 76 adults with conditions like fractures, instability, or tumors will take part.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Ennovate® Cervical Spinal System (a device for pedicle screw placement)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a less painful, faster-recovering surgical option for people with cervical spine problems.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 76 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery always carries risks like infection or nerve damage.
