Effect of Cervical Collar in Cervical Radicular Pain.
Phase 2
Completed
- Conditions
- Cervical Radicular Pain
- Registration Number
- NCT00395798
- Lead Sponsor
- Ullevaal University Hospital
- Brief Summary
Objectives:The purpose of this study is to determine if use of nech collar (stiff or soft)will improve the possibility to obtain painrelief in patients with cervical radicular pain. We will compare short term (six weeks and three months) and long term ( one year) effect of six weeks use of neck collar (stiff or soft)together with "neck school information" with "neck school information" alone.
