NCT ID NCT07282522
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares people with cervical disc herniation to healthy volunteers to understand how the condition affects touch perception, pain sensitivity, fear of movement, and arm skills. Researchers will use simple tests like finger recognition and pressure pain measurement. The goal is to learn more about these sensory and functional changes, not to test a new treatment.
