Summary

This study examines the effectiveness of cervical epidural steroid injections (CESI) and neural mobilization (NM), individually and in combination, in alleviating cervical radicular pain-a condition characterized by nerve root compression or irritation often due to herniated discs or bony spurs. Cervical radiculopathy leads to chronic pain, sensory and motor deficits, and disability in the upper limbs.

Detailed description

The study is a randomized controlled trial conducted between April and October 2024, with patients diagnosed with cervical radicular pain randomized into three groups: CESI-only, NM-only, and combined CESI and NM.

Conditions

• Cervical Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection (CESI)	Participants in this group received CESI to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in the cervical nerve roots.
COMBINATION_PRODUCT	Neural Mobilization (NM)	Participants in this group underwent NM exercises aimed at improving nerve mobility and reducing symptoms related to nerve compression.
