Effect of Cervical Exercise Combined With Nerve Mobilization on Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Radiculopathy, Cervical
• Interventions: Other: cervical spine exercises; Other: Neuromobilization

• Registration Number: NCT06453798
• Lead Sponsor: Quanzheng Chen

Brief 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

Detailed 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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual analogue scale	baseline and 4 weeks	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.
Range of motion	baseline and 4 weeks	The range of motion of the associated joints in the neck was measured using a joint protractor
Muscle strength	baseline and 4 weeks	The microFET2 instrument was used to test the muscle strength of the neck related muscles.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Tanaka Yasuhisa Cervical Spondylopathy Symptom Scale	baseline and 4 weeks	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.
the medical outcomes study 36-item short-form health survey	baseline and 4 weeks	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.
neck disability index. The total score ranges from 0 (accessibility) to 50 (total paralysis), with higher scores indicating more severe dysfunction.	baseline and 4 weeks	A scale used to assess the degree of cervical spine dysfunction
