What Treatment Is Required For A Pinch Nerve In The Neck?

I have been diagnosed with a pinch nerve in my neck. I have had epidural injections x 3 that did not take. Now I am preparing for nerve conduction test? What does this mean? Also if I have surgery how will this fix the problem. I have been hurting since October.
