Tracking symptoms in degenerative neck spine narrowing
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study follows adults with degenerative narrowing in the neck spine to see how symptoms and function change over time. It may help doctors better understand which patients improve or worsen, and why.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- Your neck spine narrowing (stenosis) was seen on MRI and is grade 2 or 3.
- Your symptoms are coming from the degenerative changes in your neck (with or without myelopathy, meaning possible nerve/spinal cord effects).
- Your narrowing is not from injury or a tumor.
- You have not had prior decompression surgery, and you do not have other prior spine/arm/leg surgery that caused nerve or movement problems.
- You can have MRI safely, and you can consent to the study (and you are able to complete any nerve testing they use, like motor evoked potentials).

This trial builds a “repository,” or database, of people with a neck-spine condition. It aims to better understand degenerative problems in the neck that may or may not be causing spinal cord symptoms, which could help future research and care.
This trial studies how changes in balance and body sensing (proprioception) show up in people with age-related neck spinal cord problems. It may help researchers understand symptoms and how best to evaluate or manage degenerative cervical myelopathy.
This study looks at a more tailored and standardized surgical approach for people with neck spinal narrowing and spinal cord symptoms. It may help doctors compare and improve how well surgery works for different patients.
This study uses brain and spine scans (and possibly nerve stimulation in some cases) to understand how the nervous system changes after spinal cord injury or certain spinal conditions. It may help researchers better track recovery and understand which changes are linked to symptoms like bladder problems.
This study follows adults with spinal cord compression in the neck caused by wear and tear changes. It aims to understand the condition better and may help guide future treatment.
This study compares how neck pain, nerve sensitivity, daily function, and quality of life differ based on how much the spinal canal is narrowed (stenosis) in people with chronic neck pain. The results may help doctors better understand and treat neck pain related to spinal narrowing.
