Role of Nerve Mobilizations in Decreasing Pain & Disability Among Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Objective of the study is to find out the effectiveness of nerve mobilization in patients with cervical radiculopathy. It is a single blinded randomized controlled trial using non-probability convenient sampling. Data is collected from University Physical therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic, University of Lahore, Pakistan. Alternate hypothesis: There is a significant role of nerve mobilizations in decreasing pain and disability among patients with cervical radiculopathy. Null hypothesis: There is no significant role of nerve mobilizations in decreasing pain and disability among patients with cervical radiculopathy. .

Clinical Trial Description

It will be a prospectively registered, parallel designed, randomized controlled trial with concealed allocation, conducted in University Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic, Lahore, Pakistan. Patients who met the eligibility criteria will be informed about the aim of the study. All eligible participants who will agree to participate in the study signed the consent form. Eligibility of the participants will be determined by the two members of the research team before the randomization. After baseline assessment, eligible patients will be randomly assigned (in a 1:1 ratio) into two groups (Group A and Group B). Randomization will be done by one of the research team members using fish bowl method. Randomization assignments will be kept in opaque, sealed envelopes and unsealed by the researchers after baseline testing. Outcome assessor will be masked to group allocation and patients will be instructed not to talk about the content of their exercise program during the post intervention visit and could contact their therapists in case of any problems during trial participation. Help of female physiotherapist will be taken for the female patients. The sample size was calculated as 76 participants (38 per group), allowing statistical power of 80%, an alpha level of 5% and attrition rate of 20% having mean difference of 1.1 and SD of 1.48 and 1.63. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
