Manual Physiotherapy for Neck and Arm Pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of hands-on physical therapy (manual therapy) can help reduce neck and arm pain. It looks at how your body senses touch and pressure to see if that predicts how well you respond.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your pain is not caused by a serious disease (like a tumor, spinal cord damage, or arthritis).

This study compares two non-surgical treatments for pain radiating from your neck into your arm and hand: one using electrical stimulation on your skin, and another using magnetic pulses on your scalp. The goal is to reduce pain and improve how well your arm functions.
This study tests whether core stabilization exercises (exercises to strengthen your trunk and back) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck that causes arm pain and numbness). If you're between 35 and 50, have had neck pain for over six weeks, and your symptoms fit, you may be eligible.
This study tests two types of stretching to see which one works better for neck pain that spreads into the arm. If you have had this pain for more than a month, this trial might help find a way to move better and feel less pain.
This study tests if combining laser guidance with neck exercises helps people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain in the neck that travels to the arm) improve their neck control and reduce pain. It may be a good fit if you have moderate neck-related arm pain.
This study looks at how physiotherapy affects brain activity and symptoms in people with chronic neck pain lasting more than 3 months. It aims to see if physiotherapy can help reduce pain and improve function.
