简要总结
Cervical radiculopathy is characterized by neurological dysfunction caused by compression and inflammation of the spinal nerves or nerve roots of the cervical spine. Rolotherapy is a regenerative therapeutic method that consists of injecting irritant solutions into the injured areas.
详细描述
Hyperosmolar dextrose is the most common agent. Administering proliferant substances can accelerate the tissue healing process by inducing cellular rupture and inflammatory response, leading to collagen deposition, cellular growth factor production, and regeneration. Dry needling used to relieve trigger point release in deep and superficial muscles. Both treatment interventions will apply to cervical radiculopathy patients to measure the effectiveness of treatment.

Neck Disability Index
时间窗: 12 Months
The NDI has become a standard instrument for measuring self-rated disability due to neck pain and is used by both clinicians and researchers. Each of the 10 items scores from 0 to 5. The maximum score is 50. The obtained score can be multiplied by two to produce a percentage score
WHO Quality of Life
时间窗: 12 months
The QOLS is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring quality of life from the perspective of the patient. It focuses on domains that come from the qualitative descriptions of a wide range of adults across gender, cultural and language groups.Each individual item of the WHOQOL-BREF is scored from 1 to 5 on a response scale, which is stipulated as a five-point ordinal scale. The scores are then transformed linearly to a 0-100-scale (16, 17). The physical health domain includes items on mobility, daily activities, functional capacity, energy, pain, and sleep
