CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY

This study compares two FDA-approved artificial disc implants used in neck surgery for conditions like herniated discs or arthritis. Twenty adults aged 18 to 60 will be randomly assigned to receive either the Biomet Zimmer Mobi-C or Nuvasive Simplify implant. Researchers will mea…

This study tests whether a special type of MRI called MR neurography can better detect pinched nerves in the neck (cervical radiculopathy) compared to standard tests. Researchers will enroll 20 adults with recent symptoms and compare imaging results with nerve tests and physical …

This study tests whether a hands-on technique that releases the diaphragm can reduce neck pain and improve movement in people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck). Forty adults with neck pain for at least two months will receive either standard physical thera…

This study tests a non-invasive treatment called ultrasound-guided transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency (TCPRF) for people with cervical radiculopathy, a condition causing neck, shoulder, and arm pain. Thirty-two adults with symptoms lasting over six weeks will receive either TCP…

This study looks at whether adding an eight-week home exercise program after a steroid injection helps people with long-term neck and arm pain more than the injection alone. About 60 adults with chronic cervical radiculopathy will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The go…

This study tests whether a specific type of gentle neck movement (Mulligan mobilization) combined with stretching can reduce pain and disability in people with cervical radiculopathy — a condition where a pinched nerve in the neck causes pain, numbness, or weakness down the arm. …

This study looks at whether a steroid injection into the spine can improve how well people with chronic neck pain sense their arm movements. Researchers will give the injection to 46 adults with a pinched nerve in the neck and measure arm position accuracy before and after. The g…

This study tests whether focused shock wave therapy can reduce pain and improve nerve function in people with cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck). Eighty adults aged 36 to 46 with confirmed disc problems and active trigger points will receive either real or sham sh…

This study looks at how well people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck) can sense where their arm is in space. Researchers will compare 58 patients to healthy volunteers using a reaching test on a wall chart. The goal is to see if nerve compression affects a…
