Brief Summary

To evaluate the effects of kinesiotherapy exercises with cervical mobilization in Cervicobrachial Neuralgia.

Detailed Description

Cervicobrachial Neuralgia is characterized by pain and discomfort in the arm, specifically in conjunction with pain in the cervical spine. It has been observed that a significant number of patients seeking therapy for cervical spine diseases are affected by this type of pain. When an illness is chronic, it has a tendency to manifest as a persistent or recurring issue that has a negative impact on an individual's mental and physical well-being.

It is a randomized clinical trial. 30 patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited by non-probability convenience sampling and then randomly divided in two groups using lottery method. Group A will receive the strengthening and kinesiotherapy exercises along with Brugger's relief position training with 10 minutes per session and cervical lateral glide mobilization, 3 times a week. And the group B will receive the cervical lateral glide mobilization. Pain levels will be measured using a visual analogue scale and goniometer will be used to measure neck ranges.The data will be analyzed by using SPSS version25.
