About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Cervical Radiculopathy focused on measuring Cervical Radiculopathy,, Neural Mobilizations,, Soft Tissue Mobilization
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with age 18 to 55years
- Patients having pain more than 3months
- Radiating pain in one of the upper limb
- Spurling's test positive
Exclusion Criteria:
- Traumatic injury of upper limb or cervical spine
- Vertebral artery test positive(dizziness, vomiting, diplopia, drop attacks etc)
- Patient asymptomatic for pain but symptomatic for tingling and paraesthesia

Neural Mobilization with Soft Tissue Mobilization
Neural mobilization without Soft Tissue Mobilization
Arm Description
Neural Mobilization with Soft Tissue Mobilization group will be assessed by spurling's test and than will involved in treatment protocol i.e Cervical Traction, Hot packs, Neural mobilization Techniques which involve Median, Radial and Ulnar Nerve Mobilization and Post Isometric Relaxation Techniques. Frequency for Neural mobilization is 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each and duration of 15minute. Participant will be scheduled to attend 12 treatment session (3 sessions every week for 4 weeks, 40mints each session)
Neural Mobilization without Soft Tissue Mobilization group will be assessed by spurling's test and than will involved in treatment protocol i.e Cervical Traction, Hot packs, Neural Mobilization Participant will be scheduled to attend 12 treatment session (3 sessions every week for 4 weeks, 30mints each session)
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Neck Pain Numeric Scale
Pain intensity in one of the upper limb is measured by Numeric pain scale in which "0"
Secondary Outcome Measures
Neck Disability Index
Neck disability index scale used to measure ability to manage neck pain in everyday life in terms of: Pain intensity, Personal care, Lifting, Reading, Headaches, and Concentration. In which "0" shows disability and "5" shows normal.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate Effects of Neural Mobilization with or without Soft Tissue Mobilization in Cervical Radiculopathy, half of the subjects will receive treatment of Neural Mobilization along with Soft Tissue Mobilization whereas half of the subjects will receive only Neural Mobilization.
Detailed Description
Neural mobilization and Soft Tissue Mobilization both treatments are used to treat Cervical Radiculopathy but they work differently.
Neural mobilization technique is different for all 3 nerves i.e Radial, ulnar and median. Neural Mobilization Technique target the single nerve which is being compressed and showing symptoms.
Soft Tissue Mobilization include traction which decompresses the nerve and stretches the surrounding muscles along with help to reduce pain and tingling sensation. whereas hot pack helps to increase blood circulation and warm up muscles and isometric exercises provide strengthening and build endurance.

Parallel Assignment
Model Description
Subjects will be assigned randomly into two groups: Neural Mobilization with Soft tissue mobilization and Neural mobilization without Soft tissue mobilization.A coin will be flipped at start of data collection for the first patient to be assigned odd number and included in Neural mobilization with Soft tissue mobilization group. Later on odd and even numbered subjects will be included in specific group.
