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 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 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.
This study looks at how neck pain and muscle weakness affect the way people walk when they have a pinched nerve in the neck. It aims to find connections that could help with treatment.
This study looks at how well neck muscles can hold a position and how accurately you can sense your head's position. It is for people with cervical radiculopathy—a condition where a pinched nerve in the neck causes pain that travels down the arm.
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.
