Neck traction vs placebo traction for pinched nerve symptoms
This study tests whether using neck traction (gentle pulling) helps people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck). It compares real traction to a placebo (sham) traction to see if symptoms and neck function improve.
La Roche-sur-YonAges 18 years+ - NCT05310578Recruiting
Rehab after neck nerve surgery for persistent arm pain
This trial studies recovery and function after surgery to relieve a pinched nerve in the neck (posterior cervical decompression). It may help people with ongoing arm pain learn which rehab approach improves daily function.

Microbiome study for patients having neck fusion surgery
This study looks at the bacteria in your body before and after neck surgery to see if they affect recovery. It may help improve care for future patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT06264297Recruiting
Nerve radiofrequency treatment for chronic leg pain
This trial tests a new type of treatment (high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency) that uses a special needle to deliver energy to the nerve root in your lower back. The goal is to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain caused by a pinched or irritated nerve.
Terrassa, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05923736Recruiting
Study of cardiovascular risk in people with digital osteoarthritis
This study looks at how heart-and-blood-vessel risk differs in people with digital osteoarthritis (arthritis affecting the fingers). It may help doctors understand whether finger osteoarthritis is linked with higher cardiovascular risk.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT07841405Recruiting
Heat therapy for chronic sciatica
This study tests a type of physiotherapy called TECAR (a kind of heat therapy) to see if it helps reduce sciatic pain caused by a disc problem. If you've had this pain for more than 3 months, this treatment might offer relief without surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for radiculopathy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 86 recruiting radiculopathy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a radiculopathy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a radiculopathy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
