Arm position sense test in cervical radiculopathy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests how well people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain) can sense their arm's position. It aims to understand if this condition affects your body's awareness of where your arm is in space.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have arm pain from a pinched nerve in your neck, confirmed by a doctor and an MRI showing a disc problem.
- You have not had neck physical therapy in the past year.
- You do not have other nerve problems, diabetes, fibromyalgia, or vitamin deficiencies that could affect your sense of position.
- You are not pregnant, and you agree to join the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study looks at how cervical disc herniation affects sensation and daily function. If you have had neck pain for at least 3 months and have been diagnosed with cervical disc herniation, researchers want to compare your results to people without neck pain.
This study looks at how neck posture and a sense of body position in your lower back relate to trunk muscle strength for people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain from the neck into one arm). It may help understand better ways to treat your condition.
This trial tests whether adding kinesio tape to specific neck exercises improves the feeling of joint position in the neck for people with cervical radiculopathy, a condition where a pinched nerve in the neck causes arm pain or numbness. It may help improve how well your neck senses its own position, which can reduce pain and improve movement.
This study tests whether virtual reality-based exercises can improve neck movement, body awareness, and hand grip strength in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve-related neck pain). If you join, you may receive a new type of physical therapy that could help reduce pain and improve function.
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.
