Exercise and neck mobilization for nerve-related arm pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining gentle exercises with specific neck joint movements can reduce pain and improve movement in people whose neck pain spreads into their arm. It's for people with a condition called cervicobrachial neuralgia (nerve-related neck and arm pain).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 50 years old
- You have neck pain that goes down into your arm
- A doctor has told you that you have a 'positive nerve stretch test' in your arm
- Your neck movement is limited due to joint stiffness
- You do not have fibromyalgia
- You have not had neck or upper back surgery, and you do not have a neurological disease like stroke or multiple sclerosis

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether combining Bruegger's exercises with upper thoracic mobilizations helps people with ongoing neck pain. It may show if this approach reduces pain and improves function better than other treatments.
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 trial compares two different treatments for long-lasting neck pain: a special exercise that helps with neck posture (cervical retraction) and a gentle manual therapy technique (facet oscillatory mobilization). It aims to find which method is better at reducing pain and improving neck movement.
This trial tests if a specific stretching and mobilization technique (Mulligan) reduces neck pain that travels down the arm. It may help if you have nerve-related neck pain confirmed by simple physical tests.
This study tests whether treating the shoulder blade muscles (with or without gentle nerve stretches) can reduce neck and arm pain. You may join if you are 30–50 and have nerve-related pain traveling from your neck to your arm.
This study tests whether a combination of neck exercises and nerve gliding (gentle movements to help the nerve move freely) can reduce arm pain and other symptoms from a pinched nerve in the neck. If you have this condition and haven't had recent treatment or surgery, you may be eligible.
