Summary

This study will evaluate Effects of Neural Mobilization with or without Soft Tissue Mobilization in Cervical Radiculopathy, half of the subjects will receive treatment of Neural Mobilization along with Soft Tissue Mobilization whereas half of the subjects will receive only Neural Mobilization.

Detailed description

Neural mobilization and Soft Tissue Mobilization both treatments are used to treat Cervical Radiculopathy but they work differently. 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. 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.

Conditions

• Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Neural Mobilization with Soft Tissue Mobilization	Cervical Traction for 10mints 7%of body weight with 7 second hold time and 5 second rest time. Hot Pack for 10mints. Neural mobilization technique includes Median, Radial and Ulnar nerve mobilization. Frequency for neural mobilization is 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each and duration of 10minute. •Post isometric relaxation technique
OTHER	Neural Mobilization without Soft Tissue Mobilization	Cervical Traction for 10mints 7%of body weight with 7 second hold time and 5 second rest time. * Hot Pack * Neural mobilization technique includes Median, Radial and Ulnar nerve mobilization Frequency for neural mobilization is 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each and duration of 10minute.
