Watching and imagining neck exercises for pinched nerve pain
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether imagining neck movements and watching videos of neck movements can reduce pain and improve movement in people with chronic neck pain from a pinched nerve. It may help you manage pain without more invasive treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- A doctor has confirmed you have cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in your neck) using an MRI.
- You have had neck pain for at least 3 months.
- Your neck pain is at least moderate (3 or more on a 0–10 scale) and causes some disability.
- You haven't had neck surgery, and you haven't had treatments like physiotherapy or injections for your neck in the last 6 months.

This study looks at how neck pain symptoms relate to actual neck movement and physical ability in women. It aims to better understand chronic neck pain, which may help improve future treatments.
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 compares two different treatments for long-lasting neck pain: a special exercise that helps with neck posture (cervical retraction) and a gentle manual therapy technique (facet oscillatory mobilization). It aims to find which method is better at reducing pain and improving neck movement.
This study tests whether virtual reality-based exercises can improve neck movement, body awareness, and hand grip strength in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve-related neck pain). If you join, you may receive a new type of physical therapy that could help reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests whether adding kinesio tape to specific neck exercises improves the feeling of joint position in the neck for people with cervical radiculopathy, a condition where a pinched nerve in the neck causes arm pain or numbness. It may help improve how well your neck senses its own position, which can reduce pain and improve movement.
This trial tests a physiotherapy program for people with neck pain lasting 3 months or longer. The goal is to see if it helps reduce pain and improve daily function.
