Assessment and rehabilitation for chronic pinched nerve in the neck
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a program of assessment and rehabilitation (including physical exercise and possibly a nutraceutical supplement) for people with chronic cervical radiculopathy — a pinched nerve in the neck causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm. It may help reduce pain and improve function without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 50 years or older.
- You have had symptoms of cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck) for more than 3 months, and an MRI in the last 6 months confirmed it.
- You do not have other major problems in your arm joints (like severe arthritis).
- Your heart and lungs are stable and you do not have any unstable medical conditions.
- You are willing to follow a physical exercise program as part of the study.

This trial tests if special exercises that retrain your nerves can reduce neck and arm pain and improve movement. It is for people who have had pain for at least 3 months and meet specific physical exam findings.
This trial compares two doses of a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency, which uses energy to calm the nerve root in the neck that is causing pain that travels down the arm. It may help if you have had this type of pain for at least 3 months and standard treatments haven't worked.
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.
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 whether acupuncture can help reduce pain and numbness from a pinched nerve in the neck that affects one arm. If you qualify, you'll receive acupuncture sessions, which may improve your symptoms and daily comfort.
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.
