CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY

This study looked at whether a steroid injection in the neck (called cervical interlaminar epidural steroid injection) can reduce pain and disability in people with a pinched nerve in the neck (cervical radiculopathy). 98 adults with neck and arm pain that did not improve with ot…

This study tested whether adding a gentle nerve-stretching technique called neurodynamic mobilization to standard physical therapy helps people with cervical radiculopathy—a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain and weakness. Fifty adults received either standard therapy alo…

This study compared two physical therapy approaches—McKenzie exercises and neural flossing—in 28 adults aged 25 to 60 with acute cervical radiculopathy (neck pain that travels down the arm). The goal was to see which method better reduces pain and improves daily function. Results…

This study tested whether adding core stabilization exercises to standard physical therapy helps people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck). Forty adults with neck pain and forward head posture were split into two groups: one received only standard therapy (…

This study tested two types of nerve mobilization exercises—slider and tensioner—in 36 adults with chronic neck pain from cervical radiculopathy. Participants received standard care plus one of the two techniques. The goal was to see which better reduces pain, improves neck movem…

This study tested whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to standard exercise therapy helps young adults with cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck causing pain, numbness, or weakness). Fifty participants aged 18-29 did 12 sessions over 6 weeks, with one group r…

This study looked at whether combining McKenzie exercises with nerve-gliding moves could help people with cervical radiculopathy—a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain. 46 adults aged 35-50 with a bulging disc in the lower neck took part. Over 4 weeks, they did these exerci…

This study looked at whether a set of head and neck exercises (called Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises) can improve neck awareness and daily function in people with long-term neck pain from a pinched nerve. 54 adults aged 30-45 with mild to moderate neck disability and dizziness took …

This study compared two injection treatments for neck pain caused by cervical radiculopathy. Seventy adults who did not get better with standard care were randomly assigned to receive either an ultrasound-guided retrolaminar block or a fluoroscopy-guided epidural injection. The g…

This completed study with 92 people tested whether a measure called perfusion index (a way to check blood flow) can predict how well a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) relieves chronic neck pain from conditions like herniated discs or spinal narrowing. Researchers tracked…

This study looked at 80 adults with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck) to see how their level of neck disability relates to their ability to move their neck in different directions. Researchers measured range of motion in six directions and compared it to disabi…
