Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness of Myo-kinetic stretching exercises versus post-isometric relaxation exercise in patients with cervical radiculopathy. Convenient sampling technique will be used to enroll the patients. Patients will be screened on the basis of pre formulated eligibility criteria. Written Consent will be taken from each patient for participation in the trial. The calculated Sample size of this study will be 68 calculated through Epitool. Group A will receive conservative baseline treatment consisted of hot pack therapy for 10 minutes and traction for 8 minutes. Myo-kinetic stretching exercises and group B will receive conservative baseline treatment and post-isometric relaxation exercise. The assessment of patients will be done at baseline, 4th and 8th week. The outcomes from patients will be calculated by using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Goniometer and Neck Disability Index. The comparison between pre-treatment and post-treatment data will be done after 8th week. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 25.

Conditions

• Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Myokinetic stretching technique	Myokinetic stretching technique (MST) is a form of myofascial release, which involves active or passive stretching and movement as well as muscle energy techniques until a desirable release from the taut band is achieved.
OTHER	Post Isometric Relaxation	Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) is the effect of the decrease in muscle tone in a single or group of muscles, after a brief period of submaximal isometric contraction of the same muscle.
