ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a treatment called High Tone Power Therapy to see how it can help reduce neck pain and improve the sense of body position (proprioception) in people suffering from cervical radiculopathy. Cervical radiculopathy is a condition that causes pain in the neck and can lead to discomfort in the arms due to nerve issues, often because of a slipped disc. The researchers are currently recruiting participants aged 35 to 50 who have experienced this condition for more than six months and have a mild to moderate disability related to their neck pain.

To be eligible for the trial, participants should not have other spine or upper body problems, recent injuries, or certain medical conditions that could interfere with the study. If chosen, participants can expect to receive the High Tone Power Therapy treatment and will be monitored for changes in their neck pain and overall function. This trial aims to provide insights into whether this therapy can offer relief and improve quality of life for those living with cervical radiculopathy.
