CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS

This study will follow 80 people with chronic pain (like back, hip, or nerve pain) who are getting a procedure called cryoneurolysis, which uses cold to temporarily block pain signals. Researchers want to see if it leads to meaningful pain relief and better daily function over 12…

This study tests whether a specialized acupuncture technique called 'Three-Needle Dazhui' combined with electroacupuncture can reduce pain and improve daily function better than standard electroacupuncture alone. The trial will involve 74 adults with cervical spondylotic radiculo…

This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation of the ear (taVNS) given before a standard epidural steroid injection can improve pain relief for people with cervical radiculopathy—a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain. Eighty adults will be randomly assigned to r…

This study tests whether a program of vestibular rehabilitation exercises can improve balance, reduce dizziness, and ease pain in people with cervical spondylosis (neck arthritis). Sixty-two adults aged 40 to 60 with chronic neck pain and balance issues will be assigned to either…

This study tests whether adding acupuncture at a specific point called Lieque (LU7) to standard electroacupuncture provides extra pain relief for people with cervical spondylosis, a common cause of chronic neck pain. 130 adults aged 40 and older will receive either the combined t…

This study compares what happens when surgeons place a small drain in the neck after ACDF surgery versus not using one. The drain is meant to remove fluid and lower the risk of complications like bleeding or infection. About 360 adults having elective ACDF will be randomly assign…

This observational study looks at how a reduced sense of neck position (cervical proprioception) affects balance in people with cervical spondylosis. Researchers will measure balance using a foot pressure platform and compare results with and without vision. The study involves 82…
