简要总结
This study will evaluate effect of soft tissue mobilization with and with out neural mobilization in cervical radiculopathy, half of the subjects will receive treatment of soft tissue mobilization along with neural mobilization whereas half of the subjects will receive only soft tissue mobilization.
详细描述
soft tissue mobilization and neural mobilization both treatments are used to treat cervical radiculopathy but they work differently.
Soft tissue mobilization include traction which decompresses the nerve and stretches the surrounding muscles along with help to reduce pain and tingling sensation. whereas hot pack helps to increase blood circulation and warm up muscles and isometric exercises provide strengthening and build endurance.
Neural mobilization technique is different for all 3 nerves i.e Radial, ulnar and median. neural mobilization technique target the single nerve which is being compressed and showing symptoms.

研究组 & 干预措施
Soft Tissues mobilization with Neural mobilization
Soft Tissue Mobilization with Neural mobilization group will be assessed by spurling test and than will involved in treatment protocol i.e Cervical Traction, Hot packs, Post Isometric Relaxation Techniques and Neural mobilization Techniques which involve Median, Radial and Ulnar Nerve Mobilization.
Frequency for neural mobilization is 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each and duration of 15minute. Participant will be scheduled to attend 12 treatment session (3 sessions every week for 4 weeks, 50mints each session)
干预措施: Soft Tissue Mobilization with Neural Mobilization (Other)
Soft Tissues mobilization without Neural mobilization
Soft Tissue Mobilization with Neural mobilization group will be assessed by spurling test and than will involved in treatment protocol i.e Cervical Traction, Hot packs, Post Isometric Relaxation Techniques.
Participant will be scheduled to attend 12 treatment session (3 sessions every week for 4 weeks, 35mints each session)

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: 4weeks
Pain intensity in one of the upper limb is measured by Numeric pain scale in which "0" shows No pain while "10" shows worst pain.
次要结局
- Recurrence of pain and Neck disability(4weeks)
- Neck Range of Motion(4weeks)
