Mobilization With Movement vs. Neural Mobilization on Nerve Root Function in Patients With Cervical Radiculopathy

Cervical Radiculopathy Clinical Trial

Official title: Mulligan Mobilization Technique Versus Neural Mobilization on Nerve Root Function in Patients With Cervical Radiculopathy: Randomized Controlled Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be conducted to compare the effect of sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGS) versus neural mobilization on clinical outcomes such as 1- nerve root function in the form of: (A) peak to peak amplitude; (B) latency; (C) F wave. 2- pain pressure threshold (PPT) and 3- Neck disability index (NDI) in patients with cervical disc (C5-C6 and/or C6-C7) herniation. Seventy two patients from both gender with cervical disc (C 5-C 6 and/or C 6- C7) herniation with both sensory and motor nerve affections will be recruited for this study following referral from an experienced neurologist and confirmed diagnosis by MRI. The patients' age will range between 20-50 years, body mass index (BMI) from 18 to 25 kg/cm2. The patients will be assigned randomly by permuted block to three equal groups; group (A) will receive SNAGS in addition to traditional therapy, group (B) will receive neural mobilization in addition to traditional therapy and group (C) will receive traditional therapy. peak to peak amplitude, nerve latency and F wave will be measured by electromyography, , pressure pain threshold will be measured by commander algometer. Neck disability will be measured by Arabic neck disability index.
