What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Neck Disability Index (NDI)
Neck disability Index improvement of >15 pts (out of 100) in subjects by 12 months post operative compared with baseline. A lower score is a better score.
Measured: 12 months
Device Related or Device Procedure Related Adverse Events
Absence of major device related adverse events defined as radiographic failure, neurologic failure or failure by adverse event
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (5)
Neck and Arm Pain Measurement
Pain will evaluated by the Visual analog scale (VAS) (place a line from zero where there is no pain to 10 which is the worst pain imaginable), by NRS (circle a number from zero to ten where zero equals no pain and ten is worst imaginable) to or a verbal description that the doctor writes down, per the site's Standard of Care. A change of at least 20 mm will be considered clinically significant. Neck pain as measured on a 100mm VAS at baseline and at each follow-up timepoint. Left and Right arm/shoulder pain as measured on a 100 mm VAS at baseline and at each follow up time-point.
Measured: pre-operative, 6 week, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 24 month
Patient Satisfaction
patient completed questionnaire on their satisfaction with the disc replacement surgery
Measured: 6 week, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 24 month
Motor and Sensory Function in the Arm
maintenance or improvement in neurologic status compared with baseline will be assessed using a defined numeric scale ranging from 0 (normal) to 5 (deficit)
Measured: pre-operative, 6 week, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 24 month
Nurick's Criteria
Disease status as characterized by physician at each time point
Measured: pre-operative, 6 week, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 24 month
Odom's criteria
surgical outcome characterized by physician at each post operative visit
Measured: 6 week, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 24 month

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease, run by Synergy Spine Solutions at 1 site in Ireland.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Ireland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Robyn Capobianco, PhD ((720) 787-9063, rcapobianco@synergyspinesolutions.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Neck Disability Index (NDI) (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jan 2026.
