Brief Summary

To investigate the Effect of gross Myofascial Release on pain and function in cervical radiculopathy patients. BACKGROUND: cervical radiculopathy is considered serious problems causing neck pain \& radiating pain which affect physical inactivity and function of a patient, thus gross Myofascial Release is a form of manual therapy technique that has a profound effect upon the musculoskeletal system. HYPOTHESES: This study hypothesized that: gross Myofascial Release on pain and function in cervical radiculopathy patients RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there an effect of gross Myofascial Release on pain and function in cervical radiculopathy patients?

Conditions

Cervical Radiculopathy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Electro-goniometer

  Measurement of cervical range of motion in four direction flexion, extension side bending and rotation

  4 weeks

• Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Handscale

  The Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scale only contains 11 items, It is a questionnaire that measures an individual's ability to complete tasks, absorb forces, and severity of symptoms. The Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand tool uses a 5-point Likert scale from which the patient can select an appropriate number corresponding to his/her severity/function level, as the higher scores indicate a greater level of disability and severity, whereas, lower scores indicate a lower level of disability, and The score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability)

  4 weeks

• Neck Disability Index

  The Neck Disability Index is designed to measure neck-specific disability. The questionnaire has 10 items concerning pain and activities of daily living including personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work status, driving, sleeping and recreation. The measure is designed to be given to the patient to complete, and can provide useful information for management and prognosis of those with neck pain.The test maximum score of 50, or as a percentage. as 0 points or 0% means : no activity limitations , and 50 points or 100% means complete activity limitation. A higher score indicates more patient-rated disability.

  4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• visual analogue scale

  four weeks

Interventions

gross Myofascial Release OTHER

Gross Myofascial Release : is amanual technique in form of Stretch of the Posterior Cervical Musculature and Gross stretch of gross Myofascial Release upper quarter: Arm Pull for duration of 10-15 min per session each stretch position was healed for 90sec

study group

conventional selected exercise program OTHER

stretching exercises for cervical muscles and pectoralis major and source of heat in form of hot packs for 15 minutes

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) DEVICE

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a method of pain relief involving the use of electrical current, the electrode placement on the course of pain for 15 minutes

Also known as: TENS
