Mulligan technique for neck-related arm pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle hands-on method called the Mulligan technique can reduce pain and improve function in people whose arm pain comes from a pinched nerve in the neck. If you have burning or tingling down one arm into your hand, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 60 years old
- You have been diagnosed with a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain
- Your arm pain goes down one side, following the path of the median nerve (the nerve that runs from your neck to your thumb and first two fingers)
- You have a positive upper limb tension test (a physical exam test that reproduces your arm symptoms)
- You can understand and follow study instructions
- You do not have other conditions like recent injury, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, or previous neck surgery

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 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 study tests whether acupuncture can help reduce pain and numbness from a pinched nerve in the neck that affects one arm. If you qualify, you'll receive acupuncture sessions, which may improve your symptoms and daily comfort.
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 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.
