U.S., Oct. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07894159) titled 'Endoscopic Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy Versus Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion for Cervical Radiculopathy' on Oct. 10.

Brief Summary: Cervical radiculopathy caused by cervical disc herniation or foraminal stenosis is a common condition that may result in upper limb pain, sensory disturbances, and motor deficits. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is an established surgical treatment, providing effective nerve root decompression.
