Summary

BACKGROUND: Upper limb nerve root dysfunction with increased active myofascial trigger point in upper trapezius is common problem in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Extracorpeal shock wave on the myo-electric and nerve function responses in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Conditions

  • Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

DEVICE

Focused Extracorpeal Shock wave

Focused Extracorporeal shock wave for 700 impulses of 0.056 mJ/mm at a frequency of 10 Hz to the taut band and 300 impulses surrounding the taut band was applied as low energy 2 sessions per week for 4 weeks. (EME S.r.l. via Degli Abeti 88/161122 Pesaro \[serial number: EM12681015\], Italy) was used as a focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy apparatus.

DEVICE

Sham Extracorpeal shock wave

(EME S.r.l. via Degli Abeti 88/161122 Pesaro \[serial number: EM12681015\], Italy) was used as a focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy apparatus. The device will be used in the demo mood with no radiation or impulses applied.
