Brief summary (from the registry)
Objective: Neural mobilization (NM) is commonly used to treat nerve disorders, and it is useful for disorders associated with neck and arm pain. This study aimed to determine the effects of NM on respiratory function in patients with chronic neck pain. Methods: Overall, 26 patients with neck pain were randomly assigned to two groups: NM or control. In these participants, respiratory function and active cervical range of motion were assessed before and after intervention. Furthermore, the participants were provided a visual analog scale (VAS) and Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire (FreNAQ). Each participant underwent 15 treatment sessions (5 days per week for 3 weeks). Further, in the NM group, in addition to conventional treatment, 10 sessions of neural mobilization were performed.
