Effects of Kinesiotherapy Exercises With Cervical Mobilization in Cervicobrachial Neuralgia

Riphah International University30 enrolled

Overview

To evaluate the effects of kinesiotherapy exercises with cervical mobilization in Cervicobrachial Neuralgia.

Cervicobrachial Neuralgia is characterized by pain and discomfort in the arm, specifically in conjunction with pain in the cervical spine. It has been observed that a significant number of patients seeking therapy for cervical spine diseases are affected by this type of pain. When an illness is chronic, it has a tendency to manifest as a persistent or recurring issue that has a negative impact on an individual's mental and physical well-being. It is a randomized clinical trial. 30 patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited by non-probability convenience sampling and then randomly divided in two groups using lottery method. Group A will receive the strengthening and kinesiotherapy exercises along with Brugger's relief position training with 10 minutes per session and cervical lateral glide mobilization, 3 times a week. And the group B will receive the cervical lateral glide mobilization. Pain levels will be measured using a visual analogue scale and goniometer will be used to measure neck ranges.The data will be analyzed by using SPSS version25.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pain: Visual analogue scale (VAS)

VAS is a psychometric instrument used to measure subjective characteristics or attitudes, typically pain intensity or other subjective experiences.

Time frame: 3 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Range of Motion: Goniometer

It is an instrument used to measure angles, typically the range of motion of joints in the human body.

Time frame: 3 weeks
