Neck braces may be unnecessary for stable fractures, study suggests
NCT ID NCT06848660
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether wearing a rigid neck collar is needed for stable neck fractures. About 616 adults with these fractures will be treated either with a collar for 12 weeks or without one. The goal is to see if both approaches lead to similar healing, while avoiding collar-related problems like pressure sores and trouble swallowing.
