The study is exploring the safety and effectiveness of a specific artificial cervical disc called the M6-C™, compared to a traditional surgery called ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion). The focus is on patients with neck problems, known as cervical radiculopathy, which causes pain or discomfort due to nerve or spinal cord pressure. Participants will have either the M6-C disc inserted or undergo ACDF, based on their group assignment. The study will track patient progress over two years, with evaluations at different times to measure success.
- Duration: 24 months with regular check-ups.
- Eligibility: Must be 18-75 years old, with specific neck issues, and able to attend follow-ups.
- Risks: Potential risks associated with surgery will be discussed with participants.
Interested individuals should have tried non-surgical treatments for at least six weeks without success. Certain conditions like severe bone diseases, previous neck surgeries, or being pregnant may disqualify participation. Participants will sign a consent form and adhere to study requirements.
