Neck pain, walking patterns, and muscle strength in cervical radiculopathy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how neck pain and muscle weakness affect the way people walk when they have a pinched nerve in the neck. It aims to find connections that could help with treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pain, numbness, or weakness in one arm due to a pinched nerve in your neck at the C5-C6 or C6-C7 levels, confirmed by MRI.
- You are between 40 and 50 years old.
- You've had symptoms for more than 3 months.
- You have some weakness in your neck or arm muscles.
- You can walk on your own without a cane or walker.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how forward head posture affects your sense of body position and back muscle strength in people with neck pain that travels to one arm. It may help understand better ways to treat neck and arm pain.
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 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 tests whether a specific movement training called kinetic control can improve neck function and posture in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve root irritation in the neck). It focuses on patients with chronic symptoms and mild to moderate weight range.
This trial tests whether adding nerve mobilization exercises to cervical traction improves nerve root function in people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm symptoms). It may help if you have had neck-related arm pain or numbness for more than 3 months.
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.
