Could simple neck exercises after a steroid shot double your pain relief?
NCT ID NCT07506785
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 goal is to see if the exercise group has less disability, less pain, better sleep, and better quality of life over 12 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cervical epidural steroid injection (dexamethasone) and home-based exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that adding simple home exercises after a steroid injection leads to better long-term pain relief and function for people with chronic neck and arm pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercise program depends on people doing it correctly at home, which can vary.
