No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Data will be collected in Hussain Memorial Hospital by taking informed consent. Randomised clinical trial is conducted taking thirty patients of both genders with confirmed diagnoses of cervical radiculopathy, their ages ranged from 25 to 60. A cluster of winner to rule out patient with cervical radiculopathy. They will be randomly assigned into two groups by the lottery method. Group A will receive conventional treatment and of spinal mobilization with arm movement (intervention 1) Group B will receive conventional treatment and positional SNAGs (intervention 2). The treatment will be conducted at a frequency of three sessions per week for four weeks. Two values will be taken, one as baseline and the other at end of the session.

Then follow up the patient to rule out which intervention is more effective than the other. Neck Disability Index, Numeric Pain Rating Scale and ROM will be used to measure outcomes.

Conditions

  • Radiculopathy, Cervical

Interventions

OTHER

Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides

The patient sits well supported in a chair. The cervical spine and head are set in a neutral position. A painless passive posterior to anterior (PA) glide is applied in the plane of the facets on either the spinous process or the articular pillar/cervical lamina. While the glide is sustained the patient actively moves their neck in the direction that previously produced the symptoms. If symptom-free, the patient applies over-pressure further into the movement restriction. 3-6 repetitions are performed

OTHER

shoulder Mobilization with arm movement

The patient is seated. The therapist contacts the length of the spinous process with the medial aspect of the thumb. A transverse glide is applied by the therapist's index finger against the thumb contacting the spinous process. The direction of the glide is to the contralateral side of the pain. While the mobilisation is sustained the patient moves their arm through a pain-free abduction range. 3-5 sets of 6-10 repetitions may be performed.
