Nerve stretching on the opposite arm for neck-related arm pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have pain on one side of your body that follows a nerve path (like a line down your arm, possibly with neck pain)
- You are able to read and understand English
- You are willing to sign a consent form to join the study
- You are either a new patient or an existing patient who has not had nerve mobilization treatment before for this condition

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
