Walking balance and neck pain in pinched nerve
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how an uneven walking pattern relates to neck pain and muscle strength in people with a pinched nerve in the neck. It will help understand if balance and walking are affected, which might guide better treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a pinched nerve in your neck (at a specific level) confirmed by an MRI, affecting only one side.
- Your age must be between 40 and 50 years.
- You must have had symptoms for more than 3 months.
- You must have some weakness in your neck or arm muscles.
- You must be able to walk without any assistive device (like a cane or walker), and have a body mass index (BMI) under 30.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study tests whether a set of neck exercises can help reduce pain from cervical radiculopathy, a condition where a nerve in the neck is irritated. It focuses on improving the angle of the head relative to the neck (craniovertebral angle) to ease symptoms.
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 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 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.
