Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate about the characteristics that predict response to physiotherapy treatment in patients with nerve related neck arm pain. The main question to answer is whether there is a subgroup that responds better to physiotherapy treatment.

Participants will be assessed for clinical and neurophysiological characteristics prior to treatment. Afterwards they will receive 6 sessions of manual physiotherapy treatment along with home nerve gliding exercises once a week. Baseline measurements will be taken again after treatment to know if there have been any changes.

Conditions

  • Cervical Radicular Pain
  • Cervical Radiculopathy
  • Cervical Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Manual physiotherapy and neurodynamic exercises

* Cervical passive mobilisation techniques and techniques of the anatomical structures surrounding the nerve. These techniques aim to open the nerve root foramen. They are gentle traction techniques and contralateral lateral glide mobilisation techniques. Interface techniques for scalenes will also be included. * Home exercises for cervical mobility and neurodynamic sliders of the upper extremity: Patients will be taught progressive upper extremity neurodynamic sliders, starting with gentle movement and progressing to exercises involving more movement based on the patient's irritability.
