What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather real-world data on the safety and effectiveness of the Synergy Cervical Disc System in patients suffering from cervical disc degeneration. It includes both prospective and retrospective cohorts, focusing on individuals who have undergone or will undergo surgery involving the Synergy Disc. The study will evaluate outcomes related to intractable radiculopathy and myelopathy, assessing the impact of the disc system on patient symptoms and quality of life.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 21 years old who are experiencing intractable radiculopathy or myelopathy and are scheduled to receive the Synergy Cervical Disc implant.

Not a fit: Patients with moderate to advanced spondylosis, osteoporosis, or active infections may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the Synergy Cervical Disc System, potentially leading to improved treatment options for patients with cervical disc degeneration.

How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on a specific device, similar observational studies have shown promise in evaluating real-world outcomes for spinal interventions, suggesting potential for success.
