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 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 tests whether combining neck traction with nerve gliding exercises can improve nerve function and reduce symptoms in people with cervical radiculopathy, a condition where a nerve in the neck is compressed, causing pain, tingling, or weakness in the arm.
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 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 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.
