Summary

This study will be a randomized clinical trial in which Slider versus Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization will be applied on the individuals with cerviculorediculopathy and changes will be recorded using different methods and tools. Convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 40 patients will be recruited. Patients will be randomly allocated into two different groups through sealed envelope method.20 patients will be allocated in each group A will be treated with Slider Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique; Group B will be treated with Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique .Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI) and goniometer will be used as Data collecting tools. After data collection from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed.

Detailed description

Neck pain is widespread and causes significant pain and disability. In the setting of cervical radiculopathy, because the nerve root of a spinal nerve is compressed It is frequently caused by cervical disc herniation and cervical spondylitis. Compression can result from intervertebral disc herniation, osteophyte formation, or other mass effects near the exit foramen of the cervical spine. This results in lower motor neurons symptoms and often presents with arm pain, weakness, and/or sensory loss, with or without associated neck pain. The most common causes of cervical radiculopathy are cervical disc herniation and cervical spondylosis. The main aim of our study to determine which combination of techniques Slider versus Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization is more effective on Pain, Range of Motion and Disability in patients with Cervical Radiculopathy. Combination of mulligan mobilization with slider and tensioners techniques to determine which combination of technique is more helpful in reducing overall disease burden and will help in increasing Quality of life.Bothcombination combination are checked individually before but their effects are not compared previously.
