Retraining neck control for better function in cervical radiculopathy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific neck movement retraining program to improve joint awareness and daily function in people with chronic cervical radiculopathy (nerve irritation in the neck). It may help if you have had neck pain that goes into your arm for at least 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had neck pain that spreads to your arm (cervical radiculopathy) for 3 months to 1 year
- You are between 40 and 55 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 30
- You have arthritis (spondylosis) at the levels C5-C6 or C6-C7 confirmed by an MRI
- You have not had neck or shoulder surgery or a major injury
- You do not have other nerve problems or conditions that limit physical activity

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a set of neck exercises can help reduce pain from cervical radiculopathy, a condition where a nerve in the neck is irritated. It focuses on improving the angle of the head relative to the neck (craniovertebral angle) to ease symptoms.
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 trial tests a type of physical therapy called High Tone Power Therapy for people with long-term neck pain from a herniated disc in the neck. It aims to reduce pain and improve your sense of where your neck is in space (proprioception) without needing surgery.
This study tests whether combining neck traction with nerve gliding exercises can improve nerve function and reduce symptoms in people with cervical radiculopathy, a condition where a nerve in the neck is compressed, causing pain, tingling, or weakness in the arm.
This study tests whether virtual reality-based exercises can improve neck movement, body awareness, and hand grip strength in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve-related neck pain). If you join, you may receive a new type of physical therapy that could help reduce pain and improve function.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for people with neck pain that travels down one arm. It tests whether adding a special massage technique to nerve gliding exercises helps reduce pain and improve movement better than nerve gliding alone.
