Summary

This study looks at how well people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck) can sense where their arm is in space. Researchers will compare 58 patients to healthy volunteers using a reaching test on a wall chart. The goal is to see if nerve compression affects arm position awareness and how it relates to pain and function.

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 could help design better rehabilitation programs that include arm position training for people with cervical radiculopathy.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 58 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test any treatment.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

Patients aged 18-65 years who are diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy based on history, physical examination, and clinical evaluation will be assessed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two groups will be formed: the cervical radiculopathy group and a healthy volunteer group matched for age, sex, and BMI.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
