Summary

This study tests whether intensive neck traction (stretching the neck) reduces pain and disability in people with cervical radiculopathy—a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain and weakness. 206 adults will receive either real or placebo traction to see if the treatment works beyond a placebo effect. The goal is to provide clear evidence for a common but unproven therapy.
