Spine surgery secrets: opening angle may determine recovery
NCT ID NCT05767164
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how the angle of the opened bone and other surgical details affect recovery in people with cervical spinal stenosis who undergo a single open-door surgery. Researchers will review records from 500 patients across multiple centers to see which factors lead to better function and less pain. The goal is to help surgeons tailor the procedure for each person.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cervical single open-door surgery with Centerpiece titanium plate fixation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help surgeons personalize the procedure to improve recovery and reduce complications for people with cervical spinal stenosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study, so it can show links but not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or surgical techniques.

Inclusion Criteria: * Symptoms and signs of the patients were typical. MRI showed single or multiple central herniation of C3-C7 intervertebral discs or spinal stenosis at corresponding levels, which confirmed cervical myeloid cervical spondylosis or cervical spinal stenosis. * Conservative treatment for more than 3 months before surgery was ineffective. * The patients underwent cervical single open-door surgery. * Informed consent was obtained from the patient and his family, informed consent was signed, and a complete follow-up was completed after surgery Exclusion Criteria: * Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. * Cervical kyphosis or instability. * Cervical spondylosis caused by trauma, tumor, tuberculosis and metabolic diseases. * Revision surgery or combined anterior-posterior surgery is required. * The patients had severe neurological diseases affecting the evaluation of postoperative results. * Psychopath. * MRI or CT for contraindications.
