NCT06653543

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of Mulligan mobilization with arm movement on nerve conduction velocity in patients with unilateral cervical radiculopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are :

  1. 1.Is there a statistical significant effect of mobilization with arm movement on NCV velocity in treatment of cervical radiculopathy ?
  2. 2.Is there a statistical significant effect of mobilization with arm movement on pain level in treatment of cervical radiculopathy ?
  3. 3.Is there a statistical significant effect of mobilization with arm movement on cervical ROM in treatment of cervical radiculopathy ?
  4. 4.Is there a statistical significant effect of mobilization with arm movement on neck disability level in treatment of cervical radiculopathy ?
