Neck pain study comparing effects of spinal narrowing
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had neck pain for at least 3 months.
- An MRI of your neck clearly shows the degree of narrowing (stenosis) in your spine.
- You have not had surgery on your neck before.
- Your neck pain does not stop you from being able to move your neck.
- You do not have vertigo, sudden hearing loss, or other nerve-related conditions.

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.
This study looks at how narrowing of the spinal canal in your neck (cervical stenosis) might affect how well your hands work. They will compare hand function in people with different degrees of stenosis to see if there is a connection.
This study is looking at a new, less invasive neck surgery for people with cervical spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck). It tests whether this surgery helps relieve symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.
This study looks at how neck pain symptoms relate to actual neck movement and physical ability in women. It aims to better understand chronic neck pain, which may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at how nerve pain relates to MRI results in people with lumbar spinal stenosis, a condition where the spinal canal narrows and presses on nerves. It aims to better understand the link between symptoms and imaging, which could help improve care.
This study compares two common types of neck surgery for people whose spinal canal (the space around the spinal cord) has become narrowed, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. The goal is to see which operation helps people recover better while keeping the spine stable.
