What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of High Tone Power Therapy combined with a selected exercise program on neck pain and proprioception in patients suffering from cervical radiculopathy. Forty-two participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving only the exercise program or a study group receiving both the exercise program and High Tone Power Therapy, administered three times a week for four weeks. Evaluations will include assessments of cervical joint position error, neck disability index, cervical range of motion, and visual analogue scale for pain. The goal is to determine if the addition of High Tone Power Therapy enhances recovery compared to exercise alone.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 35 to 50 with mild to moderate cervical disability and unilateral cervical radiculopathy lasting more than six months.
Not a fit: Patients with other musculoskeletal disorders, neurological deficits, or a history of cervical surgery are unlikely to benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce neck pain and improve proprioception in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific combination of High Tone Power Therapy and exercise is novel, similar therapeutic approaches have shown promise in managing neck pain in other studies.
