What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested two types of nerve mobilization exercises—slider and tensioner—in 36 adults with chronic neck pain from cervical radiculopathy. Participants received standard care plus one of the two techniques. The goal was to see which better reduces pain, improves neck movement, hand grip, and nerve function. Results may help guide physical therapy choices.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nerve mobilization techniques (slider and tensioner)
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.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Current continuous or intermittent pain that has persisted for more than 3 months. 2. Motor, reflex, and/or sensory changes in the upper limb. 3. Both genders aged 30-50 years. 4. Three positive special tests out of five as a predefined diagnostic criterion from the following tests: Upper Limb Neural Tension A (ULNT) test for the median nerve, Spurling's test, compression test, cervical distraction test, less than 60° cervical rotation towards the symptomatic side, and Valsalva maneuver. 5. A motor nerve conduction study, F wave, and H reflex were performed in the involved limb to confirm CR. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of surgical procedures for cervical or upper extremity. 2. Clinical signs or symptoms of medical red flags (infection, cancer, and cardiac involvement). 3. Patients with neck pain for signs and symptoms of serious pathology, upper cervical ligamentous insufficiency, unexplained cranial nerve dysfunction, and spinal fractures. 4. Any systematic disease such as rheumatism and tuberculosis, cervical myelopathy, or multiple sclerosis. 5. Systemic disease is known to cause generalized peripheral neuropathy, such as diabetes mellitus. 6. Complete loss of sensation along the involved nerve root. 7. Upper limb compression syndrome, such as thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and pronator syndrome. 8. Pregnant woman. 9. Patients who have received any physical therapy of the cervical region in the past 3 months.
