Summary
This study is following 50 people who have or will receive the Synergy Disc, an artificial disc for the neck, to treat pain from degenerative disc disease. Researchers are measuring pain levels and neck function over 12 months, and checking for any device-related problems. The goal is to see if the disc is a safe and effective way to manage symptoms.
