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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study will test whether applying neck traction at different angles, combined with gentle nerve mobilization exercises, can reduce pain and improve function in people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck). Forty-five adults aged 30 to 45 with confirmed nerve root issues will receive the traction using a special decompression device along with shoulder and arm exercises. Researchers will measure pain levels, nerve function, and neck disability over time to see which angle works best.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
cervical traction device (Triton decompression system) and neural mobilization exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better way to manage neck pain and nerve symptoms without surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 45 people, so results may not apply widely. The treatments are physical, so risks are low but include possible discomfort or temporary nerve irritation.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 45 people

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

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The patient's age will be ranged from 30 to 45 years old for both genders. 2. The patient's with unilateral C5-6 and C6-7 (posterior lateral disc protrusion) confirmed by T 2, axial view of magnetic resonance imaging 3. The patient's symptoms more than 3 months and positive provocative test for cervical radiculopathy (Spurling's test, shoulder abduction test, neck distraction test, and upper limb tension test 1 (Median nerve). 4. Sensory, reflex, and/ or motor changes in the upper limb Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of surgical procedures for pathologies giving rise to neck pain or carpal tunnel syndrome 2. Clinical signs or symptoms of medical "red flags" (infection, cancer, and cardiac involvement). 3. Patients with neck pain for signs and symptoms of serious pathology, including suspected arterial insufficiency, upper cervical ligamentous insufficiency, unexplained cranial nerve dysfunction, and fracture. 4. Systemic diseases such as autoimmune and metabolic diseases. 5. History of steroid injection. 6. Complete loss of sensation along the involved nerve root. 7. bilateral radiating upper extremity 8. Diabetic polyneuropathy.
