This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial compares two common techniques for fusing bones in the neck after removing a damaged disc: using a piece of the patient's own hip bone versus a synthetic cage. The study includes adults aged 20-60 with a single-level disc problem in the lower neck. Researchers will check how well the bones fuse over six months using X-rays and other imaging.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) using either an iliac crest bone graft or a PEEK cage
What this could lead to
If one approach proves better, it could guide surgeons toward the most effective fusion method, potentially improving recovery and reducing complications for people with cervical spondylosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study, so results may not apply broadly. The outcome depends on surgical skill and patient factors, and the trial does not yet establish which method is superior.
