Summary

This study investigates whether high-power laser therapy can reduce pain, improve nerve signals, and restore daily function in people with cervical radiculopathy—a condition where a nerve in the neck is compressed. Sixty adults aged 40 to 60 with confirmed nerve compression will receive laser sessions three times a week for eight weeks. Researchers will measure changes in disc health on MRI, pain levels, nerve conduction, and neck disability.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: High-Power Laser Therapy (HPLT)
What this could lead to: If effective, this laser treatment could offer a non-surgical option to relieve pain and improve function in people with pinched nerves in the neck.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The laser's effects on disc structure are uncertain, and benefits may be modest.
