Summary

This trial is testing two different types of disc replacements against a similar device that is already on the market.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-69 with cervical disc disease causing neck pain, weakness, or numbness that hasn't improved with treatments like rest or physical therapy. It's not for those who are very overweight, have had certain spine surgeries before, smoke heavily, have osteoporosis, metal allergies, immobile spinal segments, autoimmune diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system or take medication that affects healing.
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of artificial cervical discs (prodisc C SK and Vivo) against a similar approved device (Mobi-C). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of these devices in a surgery meant to alleviate symptoms from degenerative disc conditions in the neck.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the implant site, infection risk from surgery, allergic reactions to materials in the implants if sensitivity exists despite screening out known allergies during eligibility assessment and possible complications related to movement of the artificial disc.
