Core exercise for neck nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy (nerve compression in the neck causing arm pain or numbness).
- Your neck pain is mild to moderate (for example, a score of 3 or higher on a 0-10 scale).
- Your symptoms have lasted for more than six weeks.
- You have neck pain with arm pain, numbness, weakness, or other nerve-related symptoms on one side.
- You are between 35 and 50 years old.
- You have not had surgery on your neck before.

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 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 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 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.
This study tests if combining laser guidance with neck exercises helps people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain in the neck that travels to the arm) improve their neck control and reduce pain. It may be a good fit if you have moderate neck-related arm pain.
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.
