What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study investigates whether high-power laser therapy can reduce pain, improve nerve signals, and restore daily function in people with cervical radiculopathy—a condition where a nerve in the neck is compressed. Sixty adults aged 40 to 60 with confirmed nerve compression will receive laser sessions three times a week for eight weeks. Researchers will measure changes in disc health on MRI, pain levels, nerve conduction, and neck disability.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
High-Power Laser Therapy (HPLT)
What this could lead to
If effective, this laser treatment could offer a non-surgical option to relieve pain and improve function in people with pinched nerves in the neck.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The laser's effects on disc structure are uncertain, and benefits may be modest.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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 60 people

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

Expected to start

Jul 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Nov 2026

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

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

Inclusion Criteria: \- Adults aged between 40 to 60 years. • A Body Mass Index (BMI) range of 18.5-35 (normal to overweight) will be required. • Diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy, confirmed by clinical examination and diagnostic imaging (e.g., MRI). • Pain intensity level of at least 4 on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). • No previous history of surgery on the cervical spine. • Able to provide informed consent and participate in the study protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant. • Individuals with severe comorbidities that could interfere with the study, such as uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, or systemic inflammatory diseases. Individuals with severe cervical stenosis or spinal cord compression. • Individuals any form of malignancy, active infection, or dermatological issues on the neck. • Patients using opioid analgesics or other strong pain medications that could alter the results. • Previous treatment with high-power laser therapy within the last six months.
