简要总结
To determine the effectiveness of Manual Cervical Traction, Passive Accessory Intervertebral Movements (PAIVMs) and Active strength training in the management of cervical radiculopathy. To compare the effectiveness of Manual Cervical Traction, Passive Accessory Intervertebral Movements (PAIVMs) and Active strength training in the management of cervical radiculopathy.
详细描述
Cervical radiculopathy is a clinical condition resulting from compression of cervical nerve roots near the spinal cord. Some factors that may increase the risk for developing cervical radiculopathy include age. The risk for cervical radiculopathy tends to increase with age. This study is based on three interventions (Manual Cervical traction, Passive Accessory Intervertebral Movements (PAIVMs) and Active Strength Training) individually on three separate but equal groups of participants. It will determine the most effective intervention and which intervention is superior to the other for treating cervical radiculopathy and to assist future practitioners and researchers.

主要结局
Pain Relief by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
时间窗: 4 weeks
A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured. It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms. The simplest VAS is a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best).
Activities of daily living by Neck Disability Index (NDI)
时间窗: 4 Weeks
This questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life. Patient-completed, condition- specific, functional status questionnaire with 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. Each section is scored on a 0 to 5 rating scale, in which zero means "no pain" and 5 means "Worst imaginable pain".
Cervical Compression Test by Spurling's Test
时间窗: 4 Weeks
The Spurling's test (also known as Maximal Cervical Compression Test and Foraminal Compression Test) is used during a musculoskeletal assessment of the cervical spine when looking for cervical nerve root compression causing Cervical Radiculopathy. There are different ways described in the literature to perform the Spurling's test. The version that provoked upper limb symptoms the best was with the neck in extension, lateral flexion and axial compression.
