Summary

This study explores the effectiveness of Neuromuscular Re-education compared to conventional therapies in managing pain, range of motion, and disability in patients with Cervical Radiculopathy

Detailed description

The study identifies a gap in the current literature surrounding the effectiveness of neuromuscular re-education interventions in targeting pain reduction, disability improvement, and enhancement of range of motion for CR patients. Previous studies emphasize conventional methods, such as proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and manual therapy, with a general focus on motor control and postural re-education. However, the precise benefits of structured NMR exercises tailored to CR symptoms, particularly targeting proprioceptive training and functional task simulation, are less explored, especially compared to traditional interventions like heat/cold application or general strengthening

Conditions

• Cervical Radicular Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Neuromuscular Re education	A. Postural training and functional task simulation(chin tuck, Shoulder blade squeeze, reaching, carrying, lifting tasks) Proprioceptive tasks( single leg stance with head movement), deep cervical strengthening. 3 sessions per week, 30 minutes per session (10 mint each component),10 repetition per set, 2 set, 10 second Resting interval Resting period: 1 mint to next exercise
OTHER	Conventional Physical Therapy	* TENS and hot pack for 10 to 15 minutes * Manual therapy techniques (e.g., mobilizations grade II). 5 to 10 repetition * Cervical isometric exercises 10 reps * General education on posture and ergonomics guidelines * Frequency: 3 sessions per week * Duration: 50 minutes per session, 10 mint each component * Repetition: 10 repetition per set, 2 set , 10 second resting interval * Resting period: 1 mint to next exercise
