Effects of Kinesiotherapy Exercises With Cervical Mobilization in Cervicobrachial Neuralgia

June 13, 2024 updated by: Riphah International University

Effects of Kinesiotherapy Exercises Along With Cervical Mobilization in Cervicobrachial Neuralgia.

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

Study Overview

Detailed Description

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain: Visual analogue scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 3 weeks
VAS is a psychometric instrument used to measure subjective characteristics or attitudes, typically pain intensity or other subjective experiences.
3 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Range of Motion: Goniometer
Time Frame: 3 weeks
It is an instrument used to measure angles, typically the range of motion of joints in the human body.
3 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cervical radiculopathy impact scale (CRIS)
Time Frame: 3 weeks

It is a 21-item self-reported questionnaire that is used to assess the impact of cervical radiculopathy on patients' daily lives. It is divided into three subscales:

  • Symptoms (9 items)
  • Energy and postures (6 items)
  • Actions and activities (6 items)
3 weeks
