Clinical Information

  • Clinical Data Summary
  • The CervicalStim device was studied in humans to evaluate its safety and effectiveness as a therapy added to routine care (adjunct therapy) for high-risk patients having a cervical fusion surgery for degenerative conditions.  Patients were high-risk if they were a smoker (one pack per day or more) and/or had a multi-level fusion surgery (more than one level).
  • The 323 patients were randomly assigned, to one of two groups: either the control group (routine care only) or the treatment group (CervicalStim device + routine care).  One hundred and sixty (160) patients were assigned to the control group and 163 patients were assigned to the CervicalStim device group.  Patients wore the CervicalStim device for 4 hours each day either for 4 continuous hours or in one hour sessions.
  • Safety and effectiveness was evaluated by measuring the following:
    • Rate and severity of adverse events
    • Rate of cervical fusion by six months after surgery as determined by x-ray

Eighty-four percent (84%) of the CervicalStim device group were fused by six months (102/122 patients) versus only 69% of the control group (81/118 patients). This is a 15% difference between these two groups and is statistically significant (meaningful); p=0.0065. That is, more patients fused in the CervicalStim device group than in the control group.

  • The rate of patients who came back for their six month examinations and x-rays was 74% for the CervicalStim device group and 73% for the control group.  Patients who did not come back for scheduled examinations could not be evaluated; thus their success or failure is not known.  These unavailable data could have a positive or negative effect on the overall success of this study.
  • One hundred and twelve (112) patients reported a total of 157 adverse (negative) effects for both groups combined at six months after surgery. There was no significant (meaningful) difference in the total number of adverse events or the number of patients reporting effects in the control group and the CervicalStim device group nor in the numbers of patients in each group who experienced an adverse event. The adverse effects that may be experienced include: increased pain, numbness and tingling, headache, migraines and nausea. These effects may or may not be directly related to the use of the CervicalStim device.
  • Clinical success with regard to symptoms was evaluated by the following:
    • no worsening in neurological function
    • an improvement in pain
    • no worsening in Neck Disability Index
  • Based on the criteria above, there was no major difference between the control group and the CervicalStim device group in clinical success. An equal number of patients in both groups showed an improvement in their clinical condition after surgery, regardless of treatment.
  • Long-term x-ray information collected at 11 months after surgery or later showed no meaningful difference in fusion rate between the CervicalStim device treatment group and the control group who received routine care alone.
  • The results of this study show that the use of the CervicalStim device is both safe and effective in increasing the frequency of fusion by six months after surgery in high-risk subjects having cervical fusion.
