Spinal Mobilization With Arm Movement and Positional SNAGS in Cervical Radiculopathy Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

Interventions: Other: Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides
Other: shoulder Mobilization with arm movement

Brief Summary: Data will be collected in Hussain Memorial Hospital by taking informed consent. Randomised clinical trial is conducted taking thirty patients of both genders with confirmed diagnoses of cervical radiculopathy, their ages ranged from 25 to 60. A cluster of winner to rule out patient with cervical radiculopathy. They will be randomly assigned into two groups by the lottery method. Group A will receive conventional treatment and of spinal mobilization with arm movement (intervention 1) Group B will receive conventional treatment and positional SNAGs (intervention 2). The treatment will be conducted at a frequency of three sessions per week for four weeks. Two values will be taken, one as baseline and the other at end of the session.

Then follow up the patient to rule out which intervention is more effective than the other. Neck Disability Index, Numeric Pain Rating Scale and ROM will be used to measure outcomes.

Detailed Description: the objective of the study is To compare the effect of spinal mobilization with arm movement and positional SNAGs on pain and disability in cervical radiculopathy patients.

The study design will be Randomized ClinicalTrial The sampling Technique will be Consecutive sampling technique

Tool:

The Neck Disability Index (NDI): used for measuring functional improvement in the neck.

Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS): used for measuring pain.

Inclinometer: used for measuring Range of motion of cervical region.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Inclinometer for range of motion	4 weeks.	It's a range measuring tool used for the Range of Motion of neck flexion, extension and rotation. If the angle increases its mean improving. Change from Baseline for Range of Motion Assessment at 4 weeks.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)	4 weeks.	The numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) is a measurement scale that is used to measure a characteristic or attitude of pain. it is a 0-10 point scale. 0 mean no pain and 10 mean unbearable pain. Change from Baseline for pain Assessment at 4 weeks.
Neck Disability Index(NDI)	4 weeks.	NDI questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life. It had 10 sections with total 50 scores. The test can be interpreted as a raw score, with a maximum score of 50, or as a percentage. 0 points or 0% means : no activity limitations , 50 points or 100% means complete activity limitation. Change from Baseline for disability Assessment at 4 weeks.
