Nerve flossing for arm pain from neck problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a technique called nerve flossing to see if it helps reduce arm pain and improve movement in people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck). It may help if you have had arm pain or numbness for over 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 50 years old
- You have had arm pain, numbness, or tingling for more than 3 months from a neck problem
- Your doctor confirmed a pinched nerve in the neck using special tests (like pushing on your head to bring on symptoms)
- You have a positive nerve tension test for the median nerve (one of the main nerves in your arm)
- You do not have other serious conditions like arthritis, cancer, or severe lung disease

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 trial tests whether adding nerve mobilization exercises to cervical traction improves nerve root function in people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm symptoms). It may help if you have had neck-related arm pain or numbness for more than 3 months.
This study tests a gentle nerve-stretching technique on the opposite arm to see if it can relieve arm pain caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. You may be a good fit if you have one-sided arm pain and have not had this treatment before.
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 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 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.
