New artificial disc aims to replace painful neck fusion surgery

NCT ID NCT00478088

Summary

This study tested a new artificial neck disc called NeoDisc against the standard spinal fusion surgery for people with a single worn-out neck disc causing pain and nerve problems. It aimed to see if the new disc was as safe and effective as fusion over two years, potentially allowing for more natural neck movement. The trial involved 488 adults who hadn't improved with other treatments like physical therapy.
