• 1 other identifier: IIRS-IUISB/Mphil/002
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 60

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate effect of soft tissue mobilization with and with out neural mobilization in cervical radiculopathy, half of the subjects will receive treatment of soft tissue mobilization along with neural mobilization whereas half of the subjects will receive only soft tissue mobilization.

Conditions

Cervical Radiculopathy

Keywords

Cervical radiculopathy,; Soft tissue mobilization,; Neural mobilization

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain intensity

  Pain intensity in one of the upper limb is measured by Numeric pain scale in which "0" shows No pain while "10" shows worst pain.

  4weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Recurrence of pain and Neck disability

  4weeks

• Neck Range of Motion

  4weeks

Study Arms (2)

Soft Tissues mobilization with Neural mobilization

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Soft Tissue Mobilization with Neural mobilization group will be assessed by spurling test and than will involved in treatment protocol i.e Cervical Traction, Hot packs, Post Isometric Relaxation Techniques and Neural mobilization Techniques which involve Median, Radial and Ulnar Nerve Mobilization. Frequency for neural mobilization is 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each and duration of 15minute. Participant will be scheduled to attend 12 treatment session (3 sessions every week for 4 weeks, 50mints each session)

Other: Soft Tissue Mobilization with Neural Mobilization

Soft Tissues mobilization without Neural mobilization

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Soft Tissue Mobilization with Neural mobilization group will be assessed by spurling test and than will involved in treatment protocol i.e Cervical Traction, Hot packs, Post Isometric Relaxation Techniques. Participant will be scheduled to attend 12 treatment session (3 sessions every week for 4 weeks, 35mints each session)

Other: Soft Tissue Mobilization without Neural Mobilization

Interventions

Soft Tissue Mobilization with Neural Mobilization OTHER

Cervical Traction for 15mints 7%of body weight with 7 second hold time and 5 second rest time. * Hot Pack for 10mints * Post isometric relaxation technique. The post-isometric relaxation technique begins by placing the muscle in a stretched position. Then an isometric contraction is exerted against minimal resistance. Relaxation and then gentle stretch follow as the muscle releases. Frequency for PIRs 3sets of 5 repetitions and duration of 10minute. * Neural mobilization technique includes Median, Radial and Ulnar nerve mobilization. Frequency for neural mobilization is 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each and duration of 15minute. Participant will be scheduled to attend 12 treatment session (3 sessions every week for 4 weeks, 50mints each session)

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: NONE
• Purpose: TREATMENT
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Research Associate

Model Details: Subjects will be assigned randomly into two groups: Soft tissue mobilization with neural mobilization and Soft tissue mobilization without Neural mobilization.A coin will be flipped at start of data collection for the first patient to be assigned odd number and included in Soft tissue mobilization with Neural mobilization group. Later on odd and even numbered subjects will be included in specific group.
