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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at how neck muscle endurance relates to the ability to sense head position in people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck causing pain and arm symptoms). Researchers will test 80 adults aged 20-60 using a device to measure neck movement accuracy and a pressure sensor to measure muscle endurance. The goal is to understand how these two functions are connected, which could improve rehabilitation strategies.

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 point toward better rehabilitation exercises for people with neck pain that radiates to the arm.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is small (80 people) and has not started recruiting yet, so results are uncertain.

Who is studied

The study population consisted of 80 patients with cervical radiculopathy recruited from outpatient physical therapy clinics. Participants were adults of both sexes, aged between 20 and 60 years, presenting with neck pain associated with unilateral or bilateral upper limb radicular symptoms, including pain, numbness, or weakness. Cervical radiculopathy was diagnosed based on clinical examination findings such as dermatomal pain distribution, positive cervical compression tests, and neurological deficits, with imaging confirmation when available. All participants were in the subacute to chronic stage of the condition and were able to sit independently and follow verbal instructions during assessment. Patients with a history of cervical spine surgery, recent trauma, vestibular disorders, or other neurological or systemic conditions affecting cervical proprioception were excluded. This population was selected to investigate the relationship between cervical deep flexor endurance and cerv

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy based on clinical examination (± imaging confirmation). Presence of neck pain with radiating symptoms to the upper limb for at least 4 weeks. Age range 20-60 years. Ability to understand instructions and participate in cervical endurance and proprioception assessments. Exclusion Criteria: * History of cervical spine surgery or acute cervical trauma. Presence of neurological disorders other than cervical radiculopathy (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis). Vestibular disorders or conditions affecting balance and head position sense. Inflammatory, rheumatologic, or severe musculoskeletal conditions involving the cervical spine.
