ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a treatment called the median nerve flossing technique for people with cervical radiculopathy, a condition where nerves in the neck are irritated or compressed, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm. The goal of the study is to see if this nerve flossing—gentle movements that help ease tension on the nerve—can reduce pain, improve neck movement, and help with daily activities.

The study is looking for men and women between the ages of 30 and 50 who have had neck and arm symptoms for more than three months and show positive results on specific physical tests that indicate nerve irritation. If you join the trial, you can expect to try the nerve flossing technique to see how it affects your symptoms. People with certain other health problems, like severe arthritis or lung disease, or those whose pain comes from the shoulder rather than the neck, would not be eligible. This study has not started recruiting participants yet.
