Neck traction with nerve exercises for cervical radiculopathy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 30 and 45 years old
- Have a herniated disc at C5-C6 or C6-C7 confirmed by MRI
- Symptoms like neck pain or tingling in one arm lasting more than 3 months
- Positive results on specific neck and arm tests, such as Spurling's test
- Changes in sensation, reflexes, or muscle strength in the affected arm

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 trial tests a specific neck movement retraining program to improve joint awareness and daily function in people with chronic cervical radiculopathy (nerve irritation in the neck). It may help if you have had neck pain that goes into your arm for at least 3 months.
This trial tests whether a specific movement training called kinetic control can improve neck function and posture in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve root irritation in the neck). It focuses on patients with chronic symptoms and mild to moderate weight range.
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 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 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.
