TECAR therapy for neck pinched nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a therapy called TECAR (a type of electrical stimulation) to see if it helps relieve pain from a pinched nerve in the neck. It may be a good option if you have had neck pain for over a month and are between 30 and 40 years old.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your pain must have lasted more than 4 weeks.

This study tests whether focused shock waves (sound waves) can improve muscle and nerve function in people with neck pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower neck. The treatment is painless and non-invasive, and aims to reduce pain and improve arm function.
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.
This trial tests a type of physical therapy called High Tone Power Therapy for people with long-term neck pain from a herniated disc in the neck. It aims to reduce pain and improve your sense of where your neck is in space (proprioception) without needing surgery.
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 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 trial tests a type of electrical therapy called TECAR to see if it can reduce pain and improve quality of life in men who have had chronic prostatitis or pelvic pain for more than six months.
