High Tone Power Therapy on Neck Pain and Proprioception in Cervical Radiculopathy

October 6 University42 enrolled

Overview

To investigate the Effect of High Tone Power Therapy on Neck Pain and Proprioception in Cervical Radiculopathy Patients.

Forty two patients with Cervical Radiculopathy will participate in this study. The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to High Tone Power Therapy, three times per week for four weeks. The evaluation methods are cervical joint position error test, neck disability index, Cervical range of motion (CROM) and visual analogue scale

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

cervical joint position error test

The subject will be instructed to perform an active head rotation to one side, after which returns back to the neutral or starting head position. The test will be performed in a 3 trials in each direction

Time frame: four weeks

Neck disability index

includes 10 items as follows: Pain Intensity, Personal Care, Lifting, Reading, Headaches, Concentration, Work, Driving, Sleeping, and Recreation, with a score (0:5) for every point. The maximum score is 50, with the interpretation scoring (no disability = 0: 4, mild disability 5:14, moderate disability 15:24, severe disability 25: 34 and complete disability above 34

Time frame: four weeks

CROM

Cervical range of motion measured using CROM in different directions

Time frame: four weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P)

is a method for measuring the intensity of pain on a horizontal straight line of fixed length (10 cm), as the left end of the line showed the greatest pain score \& the right end showed the least pain scores, then the patient was asked to put a mark, on the line according to his/her pain sensation, with a higher score representing the higher level of pain

Time frame: four weeks
