Training that combines watching and imagining neck movements for cervical disc problems
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a training program that combines watching neck movements and imagining them to help improve pain and function in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve compression in the neck). It involves standard physical therapy plus these mental exercises, and you'll be asked to practice at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Adults aged 18 to 65
- Physician-confirmed cervical radiculopathy (MRI required)
- Chronic neck pain for at least 3 months
- Adequate neck mobility and minimum pain/disability scores
- No recent neck surgery, trauma, or serious spinal conditions

This study tests whether combining virtual reality with mental practice of movements can help reduce long-term neck pain. If you have had non-specific neck pain for at least three months, this treatment may help retrain how your brain controls your neck muscles.
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 imagining movements (motor imagery) and doing special neck exercises can help people with long-term neck pain. You may be eligible if your neck pain has lasted at least 3 months and is at least moderate, and you haven't had recent neck surgery or therapy.
This trial tests whether imagining movements (motor imagery) can help improve daily function and reduce pain in people with chronic low back pain. You will participate in a rehabilitation program, and if you are in the motor imagery group, you will also practice mentally rehearsing specific movements.
This study tests a special motion-training program for people with neck pain. It uses a computer to classify and guide your movements, which may help reduce pain better than usual care.
