How does neck spine narrowing affect hand function?
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether narrowing of the spine in your neck (cervical stenosis) affects how well your hands work. If you have ongoing neck pain and have already had a neck MRI, the researchers want to see how the stenosis might relate to your hand function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have had an MRI of your neck (cervical spine).
- Your MRI shows a clear narrowing (stenosis) in the spine.
- You have had neck pain for at least 3 months.
- You have not had neck surgery and do not have vertigo, sudden hearing loss, or other neurological conditions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is looking at a new, less invasive neck surgery for people with cervical spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck). It tests whether this surgery helps relieve symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.
This study compares two types of exercises to see which better improves hand grip strength and neck pain. If you have had chronic myofascial neck pain (trigger points) in the upper shoulder muscle for over 6 months, this trial may help find which exercise works best for you.
This study looks at how the degree of narrowing in your neck (cervical stenosis) affects your body's sense of position (proprioception). It may help researchers understand if neck problems impact balance and coordination.
This study looks at how different levels of spinal narrowing affect pain, movement, and quality of life in people with long-term neck pain. It may help doctors understand the best ways to treat neck pain based on MRI findings.
This study follows adults with degenerative narrowing in the neck spine to see how symptoms and function change over time. It may help doctors better understand which patients improve or worsen, and why.
This study is testing a method to see which neck pain patients benefit most from manual therapy and exercise. You may be eligible if you have neck pain (with or without arm symptoms) and have not had recent whiplash, neck surgery, or certain other conditions.
