CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY

This study aims to compare two different, already FDA-approved, artificial discs used to replace a damaged disc in the neck. The goal is to see which design—one with more constrained movement versus one with less—leads to better outcomes for patients with neck pain and nerve prob…

This study is testing if a treatment called focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy can help people with chronic pain from a pinched nerve in the neck. Researchers will compare shock wave therapy plus physical therapy to physical therapy alone in 48 patients. They will measure …

This study is testing two physical therapy techniques—Mulligan mobilization and stretching exercises—to see if they can reduce pain and disability in people with cervical radiculopathy, a condition where a pinched nerve in the neck causes pain that shoots down the arm. It will in…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive treatment for chronic neck and arm pain caused by pinched nerves (cervical radiculopathy). Researchers will use ultrasound to guide a gentle electrical pulse therapy through the skin to target the painful nerves. The goal is to see if thi…

This study is testing if a common steroid injection for chronic neck and arm pain can improve a person's sense of where their arm is in space (proprioception). Researchers will give the injection to 46 adults with long-term pain from a pinched nerve in the neck. They will measure…

This study is testing whether adding core stabilization exercises to standard physical therapy helps adults with cervical radiculopathy—a condition causing neck pain that radiates into the arm. Researchers will compare two groups: one receiving standard therapy alone, and another…

This study aims to understand if people with a pinched nerve in their neck (cervical radiculopathy) have trouble sensing where their arm is in space, a sense called proprioception. Researchers will compare 58 patients to healthy people using a simple reaching test. They want to s…
