Abstract
Aim of the study: The aims of this study is to establish the effect of neural mobilization in the pain , function and quality of patients in cervical radiculopathy . Study Design: Randomized Clinical Trial. Method: 20 Patients with cervical neuropathy were allocated for the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups which is Experimental and control group. In Experimental group (4 male, 6 female) were treated with the Neural Mobilization along with cervical traction and soft tissue mobilization. Control group ( 3male,7 female ) They received intermittent cervical traction for 15 minutes , hot packs for 10 minutes. Minimum 6 and a maximum of 12 sessions has been given to both the groups. An outcome measure that is NPRS and NDI has been taken before and after the treatment. Results : Result shows a statistically significant improvement in NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale) for Group 1 as compared to Group 2. Result also shows a statistically significant improvement in functional status of subjects in NDI (Neck Disability Index). Discussion : Neural mobilization techniques have been used as a component of treatment for patients with cervical radiculopathy. Linton and van Tulder11, indicated that 8 of the 11 studies19,21-28 concluded a positive benefit from using neural mobilization in the treatment of altered neurodynamics or neurodynamic dysfunction. Strengthening of neck and shoulder muscles has also been successfully used as a component of a multimodal program for patients with neck pain and cervical radiculopathy . Conclusion : Neural Mobilization along with conservative treatment program is more effective in treatment of cervical radiculopathy then conservative treatment alone.
