Summary

PURPOSE: to investigate effect of electromagnetic field therapy on neck pain and proprioception in cervical radiculopathy patients BACKGROUND: Cervical radiculopathy is a clinical condition resulting from compression of cervical nerve roots Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is an easy, non-invasive, safe, and relatively new treatment method that is used with growing interest in physical and rehabilitation medicine. Historically, the benefits from magnetotherapy have been reported for patients with musculoskeletal and neurological disorders

Detailed description

Thirty four patients with cervical radiculopathy The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to electromagnetic field therapy, three times per week for four weeks. The evaluation methods by Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P), cervical joint position error test (JPET), Neck disability index , and Cervical range of motion (CROM) goniometer device measurements

Conditions

• Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	selected exercise program	therapeutic ultrasound, Static neck exercise, Educational postural correction, and Home neck exercise program for patient
DEVICE	Electromagenetic Field therapy	Magnetotherapy application the device will be adjusted around the neck and shoulder area at low frequency (50 Hz), with intensity of 2.5 MT, field shape and applicator type rectangular csl60/csp60) , and the application time (10 minutes)
