Neural Mobilization With Intermittent Cervical Traction on Grip Strength, Sleep Quality, and Quality of Life in Cervical Radiculopathy

Cervical Radiculopathy Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of Neural Mobilization With and Without Intermittent Cervical Traction on Grip Strength, Sleep Quality, and Quality of Life in Cervical Radiculopathy

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

Cervical radiculopathy (CR) is a disorder of the peripheral nervous system that affects the normal function of the cervical nerve roots (CNRs). It is frequently linked to chronic pain and daily functional limitations. The goal of the neural tissue mobilization technique is to restore the nervous system's capacity to tolerate the normal compressive, tensile, and frictional forces that are associated with day-to-day activities and to examine the neural tension in nerves and mobilize the nerves that exhibit neural tension through passive and active movements using tensioning and gliding. Cervical traction reduces pressure within the vertebral disks and unloads the structures of the spine by stretching muscles and ligaments. They are clinically important techniques that are easily understood by patients. ;
