Overview
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:
-
Whether cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization is effective for cervical radiculopathy.
-
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.
-
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual analogue scale
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: baseline and 4 weeks
The range of motion of the associated joints in the neck was measured using a joint protractor
Muscle strength
Time Frame: baseline and 4 weeks
The microFET2 instrument was used to test the muscle strength of the neck related muscles.
Secondary Outcomes
- Tanaka Yasuhisa Cervical Spondylopathy Symptom Scale(baseline and 4 weeks)
- the medical outcomes study 36-item short-form health survey(baseline and 4 weeks)
- 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)
