Understanding spinal cord changes in neck pain with nerve irritation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at MRI scans of people with neck pain caused by nerve irritation to see if there are any changes in the spinal cord. It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have neck pain that travels to your arm or hand (radicular pain).
- You have had an MRI of your neck that can be reviewed.
- You have not had neck surgery before.
- You do not have a recent neck injury, cancer, infection, or certain spinal cord diseases.

This study tests a new MRI technique (MRN) to better see nerve damage in people with a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm weakness. It may help your doctor understand your condition and guide treatment.
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.
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 study compares two non-invasive nerve stimulation methods to see which one better reduces pain and improves function in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain in the neck and arm).
This study compares two types of physical therapy for people with neck pain that travels down one arm. It tests whether adding a special massage technique to nerve gliding exercises helps reduce pain and improve movement better than nerve gliding alone.
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.
