Filter by: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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate about the characteristics that predict response to physiotherapy treatment in patients with nerve related neck arm pain. The main question to answer is whether there is a subgroup that responds better to physiotherapy treatment. Participants will be assessed for clinical and neurophysiological characteristics prior to treatment. Afterwards they will receive 6 sessions of manual physiotherapy treatment along with home nerve gliding exercises once a week. Baseline measurements will be taken again after treatment to know if there have been any changes.
Cervical radiculopathy commonly called "pinched nerve," occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord. This may cause pain that radiates into the shoulder and/or arm, as well as muscle weakness and numbness.
The goal of this predictive interventional study is todetrmine clinical predictors for success with combined proprioceptive neuromusclualr faciitaion (PNF) and passive mobilization ain patients with cervical radiculopathy (CR).
Cervical radiculopathy is a common neurological disorder that is caused by compression of the nerve, inflammation of nerve roots, or space-occupying lesions. Cervical radiculopathy is the most common health-related problem worldwide. The conservative approach like education, specific exercises, and spinal manipulation is usually given for chronic cases with good outcomes.
Cervical radiculopathy is one of the most important causes of chronic neck pain. Cervical epidural steroid injections including interlaminar approach are frequently used for treatment option in patients that more conservative modalities are ineffective. Paraspinal muscles have an important role in supporting neck movements and providing stability of the cervical spine. The multifidus muscle, located in the deepest part of the neck extensor muscle group, has become the muscle that is frequently emphasized in spinal pain in recent years. In the literature, it has been shown that the multifidus muscle on the affected side is atrophied in patients with cervical radiculopathy. Although many factors are known to be effective on the outcomes of cervical interlaminar epidural injection, there are limited data on the effect of the multifidus muscle area. In this retrospective study, it was planned to investigate the effect of the multifidus muscle area on the results of cervical interlaminar epidural steroid injection.
The aim of this research is to find the effects of neural tension versus neural sliding technique on pain, cervical muscle endurance and hand grip strength in unilateral cervical radiculopathy. It will be a randomized controlled trial in which participants selected through non probability convenience sampling with age from 18 to 65 years having unilateral cervical radicular pain in upper limb since 3 months and any two of the following positive test Spurling's test, Distraction test and Upper Limb Tension Test. Participants will be randomly allocated, into three groups (A, B, and C). On the contrary, patients with any orthopedic or neurological conditions of cervical spine and shoulder joint, malignancy, cervical surgeries and bilateral cervical radiculopathies will be excluded from the study. Baseline measurement of all groups will be taken by using Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, Cranio-cervical Flexion Test for endurance and Hand-Held Dynamometer for hand grip strength. Group A will receive 7 neural tension technique, Group B will receive neural sliding technique, while Group C will receive both neural tension technique and neural sliding technique for 4 weeks (6 successive sessions). Both techniques (slider and tensioner) will be provided three sets in every session; Each set will be performed in a slow, oscillatory manner with 10 seconds rest between the sets. Posttest measurement will be taken after 4 weeks of treatment. SPSS 21 software will be used for data entry and analysis.
This study aims to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided selective cervical nerve root pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) versus fluoroscopy-guided paramedian cervical epidural steroid administration (CESI) for the treatment of lower cervical radicular pain refractory to conservative treatments. For this evaluation, a numerical rating (NRS), neck disability index (NDI), and Leeds Assessment Of Neuropathic Symptoms And Signs (LANSS) scale will be used before and after both interventions.
The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of neural mobilization techniques, one of the manual therapy methods that can be used in the treatment of cervical radiculopathy.
Effectiveness of neck isometric exercises and cervical mobilization will be compared to observe the efficacy of these techniques on cervical radiculopathy
