NCT ID NCT07248943
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle, hands-on movement technique applied to the non-painful side can reduce pain and disability in people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain in the neck and arm). It includes 40 adults who will receive a single session of this technique. The goal is to see if this approach works for those who cannot tolerate direct treatment of their painful arm.

Active substance
Contralateral neural tissue mobilization (a gentle, hands-on movement technique applied to the non-painful side)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a pain-relief option for people with cervical radiculopathy who cannot tolerate direct treatment of their painful arm.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early exploratory study with only 40 participants and no control group. Results may not apply to everyone, and the effect may be small or temporary.
