Stretching and mobilization for neck pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You have neck pain that radiates down your arm.
- Your doctor has done physical tests that suggest the pain is from a nerve root in your neck (positive Spurling test, arm tension test, or cervical rotation test).
- You have not had recent neck surgery, fractures, or other serious spine conditions.
- You are not currently receiving other physiotherapy for your neck pain.

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 compares two ways to gently stretch the neck to relieve pain and numbness in the arm caused by a pinched nerve in the neck (cervical radiculopathy). It looks at whether a special inflatable neck collar or hands-on manual stretching works better to improve symptoms.
This study tests whether combining neck traction with nerve gliding exercises can improve nerve function and reduce symptoms in people with cervical radiculopathy, a condition where a nerve in the neck is compressed, causing pain, tingling, or weakness in the arm.
This study compares two gentle neck therapy techniques to see which better reduces headaches that start from the neck. It aims to help people with neck-related headaches move better and feel less pain.
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.
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.
