Efficacy of Gross Myofascial Release With Neural Mobilization for Cervical Radiculopathy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized study compares two physical therapy approaches for cervical radiculopathy: gross myofascial release combined with neural mobilization versus neural mobilization alone. Eligible participants are adults aged 25–55 with chronic neck pain radiating to the arm, positive upper limb tension test, and symptoms for at least four weeks. Outcomes focus on pain levels, functional limitations, and cervical range of motion. The study is conducted at My Health Wellness Center in Peshawar, with Ibadat International University as the lead sponsor.
