The effect of intermittent traction along with neural mobilization in cervical radiculopathy

The main objective of the study is to find out the effectiveness of traction alone or traction along with neural mobilization in physiotherapeutic management of cervical radiculopathy.

It is comparative study with controlled randomized trials. The study design is cohort study. It's a convenient sampling and the technique is non-probability sampling technique. The hypothesis is tested by applying chi-square which yielded that traction along with neural mobilization is more effective in relieving pain and functional limitation than any other technique.

Moreover, my study brings light to the following facts: It is occurred mostly in the age range from 40 to 50 and even beyond 50 years of age. By applying chi-square, I have proved my alternate hypothesis “Cervical traction along with neural mobilization is effective in relieving pain and functional limitation in cervical radiculopathy.”

About 41.2% of patients have good recovery and 36.2% have normal recovery after the application of techniques due to their lack of interest.

The prognosis is good among mostly patients after applying the techniques. It was concluded that application of intermittent cervical traction along with neural mobilization is more effective than traction alone with exercises afterwards.
