Neck pain study tests belt vs. fisted traction
NCT ID NCT07628439
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two manual traction techniques—Mulligan belt traction and fisted traction—for people with lower cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck causing pain down the arm). 44 adults aged 25-60 with moderate pain will be assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers will measure changes in pain, neck movement, and daily disability over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mulligan belt traction and fisted traction (manual therapy techniques)
What this could lead to
If one method proves better, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease neck and arm pain and improve daily function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 44 people, so results may not apply widely. Neither method is a cure, and benefits may be modest.
