What this could lead to
If successful, this could point to a better physical therapy approach for relieving neck pain and improving arm function in people with cervical radiculopathy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The techniques are add-ons to standard care, and benefits may be modest.
