Steroid injection for arm pain from a pinched nerve in the neck
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a steroid injection into the neck joint can reduce arm pain caused by a pinched nerve. It may help people who have had arm pain for at least 3 months and have not gotten relief from pills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- An MRI or CT scan in the last 6 months shows a pinched nerve at one level of your neck, confirmed by a study doctor.
- You have tried at least one painkiller and one anti-inflammatory pill (ibuprofen or similar) for 7 days or more in the last 3 months, but it didn't help enough.

This trial tests whether adding a steroid to spinal anesthesia can make the numbness last longer during knee arthroscopy. Knee arthroscopy is when a doctor looks inside your knee with a small camera.
This trial tests whether adding a home exercise program to a steroid injection in the neck helps people with long-term nerve pain in the arm. It aims to improve pain and function for those who haven't gotten enough relief from other treatments.
This study tests whether a steroid injection in the neck can improve your sense of arm position (proprioception) along with pain. It may help if you have chronic neck pain that travels down one arm due to a herniated disc.
This study tests whether a steroid injection into the space around the spinal cord (epidural space) can relieve leg pain caused by a pinched nerve, a condition called sciatica. If the injection works, it may help reduce your pain without surgery.
This trial tests if adding a steroid (dexamethasone) to a nerve block shot can reduce the severe pain that often returns after shoulder surgery. You will receive either a single injection or a continuous flow of pain medicine through a small tube.
This trial studies whether an injection near the phrenic nerve can help people with neck pain. It is only for certain types of neck/diaphragm-related problems and excludes people with nerve, injury, cancer, infection, or autoimmune causes.
