New Needle-Free treatment may ease chronic neck and arm pain

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 TCPRF or a sham treatment over four weeks, along with standard rehabilitation. The goal is to see if TCPRF reduces pain and improves daily function better than the sham.
