Local vibration for neck pain from pinched nerve
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle vibration applied to the neck can help relieve pain, numbness, or tingling caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. It's for people with moderate to severe neck pain or arm pain who haven't had neck surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have a pinched nerve in your neck confirmed by MRI
- You have neck pain (on one or both sides) rated 3 or higher on a 0-10 scale, or neck pain with numbness/tingling or arm pain rated 3 or higher
- You have not had neck or upper back surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests combining a gentle electrical stimulation applied to your ear with a standard neck injection procedure to treat pinched nerves in the cervical spine (neck). The ear stimulation may help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for pain radiating from your neck into your arm and hand: one using electrical stimulation on your skin, and another using magnetic pulses on your scalp. The goal is to reduce pain and improve how well your arm functions.
This study tests whether core stabilization exercises (exercises to strengthen your trunk and back) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck that causes arm pain and numbness). If you're between 35 and 50, have had neck pain for over six weeks, and your symptoms fit, you may be eligible.
This study tests a non-surgical treatment using ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency to relieve chronic neck and arm pain caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. It may be an option if you have had symptoms for over six weeks and are not helped by other treatments.
This study tests if combining laser guidance with neck exercises helps people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain in the neck that travels to the arm) improve their neck control and reduce pain. It may be a good fit if you have moderate neck-related arm pain.
This study tests a gentle nerve-stretching technique on the opposite arm to see if it can relieve arm pain caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. You may be a good fit if you have one-sided arm pain and have not had this treatment before.
