Cervical spinal nerve 4, also called C4, is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment.

It originates from the spinal cord above the 4th cervical vertebra (C4).

It also provides motor nerves for the longus capitis, longus colli, anterior scalene, middle scalene, and levator scapulae muscles.

[citation needed] C4 contributes some sensory fibers to the supraclavicular nerves, responsible for sensation from the skin above the clavicle.

[1] C4 and C5 are the areas that see the highest amount of cervical spine trauma.
