Cervical radiculopathy causes referred pain in the shoulder blade and collar bone.

the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that cervical radiculopathy causes referred pain in the shoulder blade and collar bone?

Yes. Evidence from anatomical and clinical studies supports the conclusion that cervical radiculopathy frequently causes referred pain in the scapular and shoulder regions.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

Multiple retrieved sources explicitly document and investigate the relationship between cervical radiculopathy and referred scapular pain, demonstrating that nerve root compression in the cervical spine commonly projects pain to the shoulder blade area. No papers refute this relationship.
