Home exercise after neck injection for nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have had neck and arm pain for at least 3 months caused by a pinched nerve in the neck.
- Your average pain in the last week is at least 4 out of 10.
- You have been diagnosed with a disc problem in the neck that matches your symptoms.

This study tests a cervical epidural block (an injection into the neck area) as a treatment for chronic neck pain. It aims to see if this injection can help reduce pain in people with nerve-related neck pain.
This study tests whether a steroid injection in the neck can improve your sense of arm position (proprioception) along with pain. It may help if you have chronic neck pain that travels down one arm due to a herniated disc.
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 whether adding a gentle nerve stimulation device on the ear to a standard neck injection can improve pain and function for people with nerve pain from the neck. It is a short procedure, and the goal is to see if the combination gives extra relief.
This trial studies recovery and function after surgery to relieve a pinched nerve in the neck (posterior cervical decompression). It may help people with ongoing arm pain learn which rehab approach improves daily function.
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.
