RecruitingBehavioural interventionAnterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) - Behavioral InterventionThis study will prospectively recruit and enroll patients undergoing primary Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) surgeries at NYU Langone. Participants will undergo pre-operative and six-week post-operative swallowing assessment using videofluoroscopy (VFSS). Acoustic voice samples and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) for swallowing and voice will also be collected. Beginning one-week before surgery participants will begin a behavioral health program that will be continued for six-weeks after surgery. The primary goal of this study will be to determine whether a preventative behavioral health program improves instrumental measures of swallowing and voice six-weeks after ACDF surgery. .
