Identifying predictors for effective physiotherapy in neck and arm pain patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to identify characteristics that predict how well patients with cervicobrachial pain respond to manual physiotherapy. Participants will undergo a thorough assessment of their clinical and neurophysiological profiles before receiving six sessions of manual physiotherapy and home nerve gliding exercises. The study will evaluate changes in symptoms and functionality after treatment, using various clinical tests and questionnaires to gather comprehensive data on their condition. The goal is to determine if specific subgroups of patients benefit more from this treatment approach.
