NCT ID NCT06279377
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding stabilization exercises to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after cervical laminoplasty surgery. Thirty-two patients were split into two groups: one did standard exercises, the other added stabilization moves using a pressure biofeedback device, resistance bands, and a ball. Researchers measured pain, movement, balance, and muscle endurance at 6 weeks after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Stabilization exercise program (including deep neck flexor training with biofeedback, elastic resistance bands, and elastic ball exercises)
- What this could lead to
- If this approach works, it could lead to a more effective rehabilitation program that improves recovery after cervical spine surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises are an add-on to standard care, and benefits may be modest.
