Simple stretching technique may ease pain from pinched neck nerve
NCT ID NCT07643701
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a gentle nerve-stretching technique called neurodynamic mobilization to standard physical therapy helps people with cervical radiculopathy—a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain and weakness. Fifty adults received either standard therapy alone or standard therapy plus the nerve stretches over 5 weeks. The goal was to see if the extra technique improves pain and daily function.
