Neuromuscular Re-education 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 interventional study compares neuromuscular re-education to conventional physical therapy in adults aged 30-50 with unilateral neck pain and sensory symptoms lasting at least three months. It targets improvements in pain, range of motion, and functional disability using structured proprioceptive and task-specific exercises. Traditional therapies such as heat/cold application and general strengthening are used as a comparator. The investigation builds on prior work in motor control and postural re-education, seeking to clarify the added value of tailored neuromuscular re-education for cervical radiculopathy. The trial is conducted at National Hospital Sialkot with Riphah International University as lead sponsor.
