What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

This study looks at how the severity of cervical spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine in the neck) affects hand function, including grip strength and fine motor skills. Researchers will measure hand strength and dexterity in 180 adults with neck pain who have had an MRI. The goal is to understand the connection better so that rehabilitation can be personalized.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help tailor rehabilitation programs for people with cervical spinal stenosis to better preserve hand function.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. Results may not apply to all patients with stenosis.

Participants

About 180 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The sample for this study will consist of individuals who presented to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic at the Buca Seyfi Demirsoy Training and Research Hospital of Izmir Democracy University due to cervical problems and underwent cervical MRI. After obtaining informed consent, the individuals included in the study will undergo evaluation. First, participants will be grouped based on their cervical stenosis scores. The degree of cervical stenosis will be determined using MRIs that were previously requested and performed during various outpatient services. The evaluation of the MRI will be scored according to the Kang grading system for spinal stenosis. The Kang grading system includes four degrees ranging from 0 to 3 based on spinal cord compression.
