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.
Who can take part
- You have pain on one side of your neck and arm.
- Your pain is not caused by a serious disease (like a tumor, spinal cord damage, or arthritis).
- Your pain did not start after a recent accident or whiplash.
- You have not had surgery on your neck before.

This study compares two types of physical therapy for people with neck pain that travels down one arm. It tests whether adding a special massage technique to nerve gliding exercises helps reduce pain and improve movement better than nerve gliding alone.
This trial tests if special exercises that retrain your nerves can reduce neck and arm pain and improve movement. It is for people who have had pain for at least 3 months and meet specific physical exam findings.
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 a type of physical therapy exercise called 'neural tissue mobilization' (nerve gliding) done on the arm opposite to your pain, to see if it can relieve arm pain caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. You'll be asked to do specific exercises, and the goal is to reduce your pain and improve your ability to move your arm.
This study tests whether virtual reality-based exercises can improve neck movement, body awareness, and hand grip strength in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve-related neck pain). If you join, you may receive a new type of physical therapy that could help reduce pain and improve function.
