Study summary

The objective of this clinical trial was to investigate the effects of cervical spine exercises combined with nerve mobilization in patients with radiculopathy.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Whether cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization is effective for cervical radiculopathy.
  2. Is there any difference between cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization and single method? The participants were patients with cervical radiculopathy and were divided into three groups in this study.

1. Experimental group: received cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization 2. Control group 1: cervical spine exercises were performed 3. Control group 2: received neuromobilization

Read the detailed description

After being informed of the risks, participants are required to sign an informed consent form. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilizatio or cervical spine exercises or neuromobilization on a 1:1:1 ratio.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual analogue scale

    A scale used to evaluate pain. The scale consists of 0 to 10 points, with a higher score indicating greater pain and a lower one.

    Time frame: baseline and 4 weeks

  2. Range of motion

    The range of motion of the associated joints in the neck was measured using a joint protractor

    Time frame: baseline and 4 weeks

  3. Muscle strength

    The microFET2 instrument was used to test the muscle strength of the neck related muscles.

    Time frame: baseline and 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Tanaka Yasuhisa Cervical Spondylopathy Symptom Scale

    To assess the status of the patient's cervical spine. The scale includes a score of -2 to 20, with the larger the score, the less severe the symptoms associated with the cervical spine.

    Time frame: baseline and 4 weeks

  2. neck disability index. The total score ranges from 0 (accessibility) to 50 (total paralysis), with higher scores indicating more severe dysfunction.

    A scale used to assess the degree of cervical spine dysfunction

    Time frame: baseline and 4 weeks

  3. the medical outcomes study 36-item short-form health survey

    A scale used to assess quality of life.The exact score of the SF-36 varies from item to item, but in general, the higher the score, the better the quality of life.

    Time frame: baseline and 4 weeks

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jul 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2024, 5 months after the start.

Of 215 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Radiculopathy, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 45. This study's planned 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 225 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 48.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 8, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
