ABSTRACT
Background: Cervical Radiculopathy is defined as a disorder of the peripheral nerves and nerve Root's. Mostly, it is the result of a comprehensive or inflammatory pathology from disc herniation, spondylitic spur or cervical osteophytes resulting from inflammation of cervical nerve root leading to narrowing of intervertebral foramen. It affects 85 out of 100,000 people every year.
Methodology: A experimental study was done two group's were made. Group A (n=14) received cervical manual traction and TENS. Group B was treated with cervical manual traction, TENS and neural tissue mobilization. Treatment was given for 10 Session, 5 times a week for 2week's. Pain was assessed using numerical pain rating scale and functional disability assessed using patients’ specific functional scale.
Results: Group B showed significant decrease in pain and functioning as compared to Group A.
Conclusion: The study is concluded that the effects of cervical manual traction, TENS and neural tissue mobilization are more effective than the only cervical manual traction and TENS.
Keywords: Cervical radiculopathy, cervical manual traction, TENS, neural tissue mobilization, NPRS, PSFS.
