Upper Extremity Dysfunction in Patients With Cervical Radiculopathy

NCT06923085 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 58

Last updated 2025-04-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will examine how cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck) affects function in both arms, not just the symptomatic side. The investigators will evaluate 42 patients with different cervical nerve root involvement (C4-5, C5-6, or C6-7) and compare them to 16 control subjects with non-specific neck pain. The assessments will measure muscle strength, sensory function, hand performance, pain levels, and psychological factors. These evaluations may contribute to the development of rehabilitation programs for cervical radiculopathy.

Conditions

  • Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Observational Assessment Only

This is an observational study examining bilateral sensorimotor function in patients with cervical radiculopathy. No interventional procedures were applied. Participants underwent comprehensive assessments including pain evaluation (VAS), neck disability (NDI), upper extremity functionality (DASH), muscle strength measurements, sensory function testing, hand performance evaluation, kinesiophobia (TAMPA), and emotional status assessment (Beck Inventory). The study compared findings between different cervical radiculopathy groups and a control group with non-specific neck pain.
