Cervical nerve pain imaging study using MRN
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new MRI technique (MRN) to better see nerve damage in people with a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm weakness. It may help your doctor understand your condition and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 60 years old.
- You have arm weakness and other symptoms from a pinched nerve on one side of your neck.
- Your symptoms started between 2 and 12 weeks ago.
- You have had or will have nerve tests (electrodiagnostic studies) at the study hospital before any surgery.
- You have not had neck surgery before or a previous episode of this condition.

This study looks at MRI scans of people with neck pain caused by nerve irritation to see if there are any changes in the spinal cord. It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
This study compares two non-invasive nerve stimulation methods to see which one better reduces pain and improves function in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain in the neck and arm).
This study looks at how the endurance of deep neck muscles relates to your body's sense of neck position in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain in the neck). If you join, you'll have simple tests to measure these factors, which may help guide better treatments.
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.
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 a type of physical therapy exercise called 'neural tissue mobilization' (nerve gliding) done on the arm opposite to your pain, to see if it can relieve arm pain caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. You'll be asked to do specific exercises, and the goal is to reduce your pain and improve your ability to move your arm.
