NCT ID NCT07242989

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

Summary

This completed study followed 100 patients who had outpatient neck surgery for cervical stenosis, a condition where the spinal canal narrows. Researchers tracked neurologic function, pain, and complications over about 2.5 years. The goal was to see if performing this complex surgery without an overnight hospital stay is safe and effective.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that outpatient neck surgery is safe and effective, potentially reducing hospital stays and recovery time for patients with cervical stenosis.
