Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of static and dynamic opening with neural sliding in patients with cervical radiculopathy for reducing pain, enhancing cervical range of motion and improve functional status.

Conditions

  • Cervical
  • Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

OTHER

static opening with slider+ Conventional PT

Patient supine Maintaining neck flexion + contralateral flexion and rotation and applying median nerve slider mobilization while maintaining the neck static in mentioned position. Frequency: 3 sets of 10 reps with 5 sec hold for 3 times/week for 4 weeks Conventional PT includes hot pack for 10 mins and cervical isometrics. Frequency: 3 sets of 10 reps with 5 sec hold for 3 times/week for 4 weeks. Duration: 30-40 mins

OTHER

dynamic opener with slider + Conventional PT

Patient supine Neck flexion + contralateral flexion and rotation. And sliding the median nerve along with neck movement from contralateral flexion+rotation to neutal position in repetitive manner, by releasing tension from median nerve when bringing neck in neutral to ease tension from affected side. Conventional PT includes hot pack for 10 mins and cervical isometrics. Frequency: 3 sets of 10 reps with 5 sec hold for 3 times/week for 4 weeks. Duration: 30-40 mins
