Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effects of Median Nerve Neural Mobilization in Treating Cervicobrachial Pain: A Randomized Waiting List-controlled Clinical Trial.
There is a current lack of sufficiently high-quality randomized controlled clinical trials that measure the effectiveness of neural tissue mobilization techniques such as median nerve neural mobilization (MNNM) and their specific effects on cervicobrachial pain (CP). The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of MNNM in subjects with CP vs. a waiting list control group (WLCG). ⋯ MNNM may be superior to no treatment in reducing pain and increasing function in the affected upper limbs of subjects with CP.
