Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this clinical trial was to investigate the effects of cervical spine exercises combined with nerve mobilization in patients with radiculopathy.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Whether cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization is effective for cervical radiculopathy.

2. Is there any difference between cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization and single method? The participants were patients with cervical radiculopathy and were divided into three groups in this study.

1. Experimental group: received cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization 2. Control group 1: cervical spine exercises were performed 3. Control group 2: received neuromobilization

Description:

After being informed of the risks, participants are required to sign an informed consent form. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilizatio or cervical spine exercises or neuromobilization on a 1:1:1 ratio.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Visual analogue scale	A scale used to evaluate pain. The scale consists of 0 to 10 points, with a higher score indicating greater pain and a lower one.	baseline and 4 weeks
Primary	Range of motion	Used to evaluate cervical range of motion	baseline and 4 weeks
Primary	Muscle strength	Used to evaluate the strength of the muscles around the neck	baseline and 4 weeks
Secondary	Tanaka Yasuhisa Cervical Spondylopathy Symptom Scale	To assess the status of the patient's cervical spine. The scale includes a score of -2 to 20, with the larger the score, the less severe the symptoms associated with the cervical spine.	baseline and 4 weeks
Secondary	neck disability index. The total score ranges from 0 (accessibility) to 50 (total paralysis), with higher scores indicating more severe dysfunction.	A scale used to assess the degree of cervical spine dysfunction	baseline and 4 weeks
Secondary	the medical outcomes study 36-item short-form health survey	A scale used to assess quality of life.The exact score of the SF-36 varies from item to item, but in general, the higher the score, the better the quality of life.	baseline and 4 weeks
