简要总结
The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of myofascial release technique on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy with unilateral arm involvement and compare this with exercise. The individuals included in the study will be randomized into two groups, 17 control and 17 study groups. Sessions will be 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Conventional physiotherapy and exercise program will be applied to the control group, conventional physiotherapy and myofascial release technique will be applied in the intervention group. Conventional physiotherapy methods; It will include Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound (US), hotpack agents. Exercise program; extension, right and left lateral flexion, right and left rotation exercises, chin-tuck, right and left upper trapezius muscle group stretching, neck extensor muscle group isometric strengthening exercises. Myofascial release will be applied to the fingers, wrist flexor-extensor muscle groups, elbow flexor-extensor muscle groups, pectoral muscles and rotator cuff muscle groups. Patients will be evaluated before and after treatment with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Goniometric measurements, algometer, myometer, Neck Disability Scale, "Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand" Questionnaire (DASH).

结局指标
主要结局
Myometer
时间窗: 10 minutes
Hand myometer is a means of expressing force quantitatively. It is preferred over other dynamometers because of its ease of use and portability.
Algometer
时间窗: 10 minutes
It is a device used to evaluate the sensitivity to pain and to determine the perception of pressure. The pressure algometer has proven useful in evaluating fibrositis and hypersensitive spots, trigger points, arthritis activation, and visceral pain-pressure sensitivity.
Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: 1 minutes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to convert some values that cannot be measured numerically into digital. Two end definitions of the parameter to be evaluated are written on both ends of a 100 mm line and the patient is asked to indicate where his / her condition is appropriate by drawing a line or by placing a dot or marking.
Electrogoniometer
时间窗: 10 minutes
It is an evaluation tool used to record the objective measurement of joint range of motion.
次要结局
- Neck Disability Index(10 minutes)
- Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand Test(10 minutes)
