NCT ID NCT07447271
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at medical records of 330 adults with cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck causing pain down the arm). It compared two types of injections: one guided by ultrasound and one guided by X-ray. The goal was to see which method reduces pain more, spreads medication better, and has fewer side effects.
