Brief Summary

This study will evaluate Effects of Neural Mobilization with or without Soft Tissue Mobilization in Cervical Radiculopathy, half of the subjects will receive treatment of Neural Mobilization along with Soft Tissue Mobilization whereas half of the subjects will receive only Neural Mobilization.

Conditions

Cervical Radiculopathy

Keywords

Cervical Radiculopathy,; Neural Mobilizations,; Soft Tissue Mobilization

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Neck Pain Numeric Scale

  Pain intensity in one of the upper limb is measured by Numeric pain scale in which "0"

  4weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Neck Disability Index

  4weeks

Study Arms (2)

Neural Mobilization with Soft Tissue Mobilization

EXPERIMENTAL

Neural Mobilization with Soft Tissue Mobilization group will be assessed by spurling's test and than will involved in treatment protocol i.e Cervical Traction, Hot packs, Neural mobilization Techniques which involve Median, Radial and Ulnar Nerve Mobilization and Post Isometric Relaxation Techniques. 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, 40mints each session)

Other: Neural Mobilization with Soft Tissue Mobilization

Neural mobilization without Soft Tissue Mobilization

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Neural Mobilization without Soft Tissue Mobilization group will be assessed by spurling's test and than will involved in treatment protocol i.e Cervical Traction, Hot packs, Neural Mobilization Participant will be scheduled to attend 12 treatment session (3 sessions every week for 4 weeks, 30mints each session)

Other: Neural Mobilization without Soft Tissue Mobilization

Interventions

Neural Mobilization with Soft Tissue Mobilization OTHER

Cervical Traction for 10mints 7%of body weight with 7 second hold time and 5 second rest time. Hot Pack for 10mints. 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 10minute. •Post isometric relaxation technique

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