Effectiveness of neural tissue mobilization in the management of cervicobrachial pain in subjects between age group 25–40 years

Neck pain is a frequent and disabling complaint in general population. Roughly about two third of general population have neck pain at some point of their lives. Prevalence is high in the middle aged people. Clinically, patients with neck pain usually report aggravation of their symptoms with reading. This indicates possible compromise of the neuro musculoskeletal structures of the neck.

To find whether neural tissue mobilization could reduce pain, improve functional activity and improve ROM in patients with cervicobrachial pain.

To study the effectiveness of neural tissue mobilization in reducing pain, improving functional activity and improve cervical ROM in subjects with cervicobrachial pain. between the age group 25-40years.

To find out the effect of neural tissue mobilization in reducing pain, improving functional activity and improve cervical ROM in subjects with cervicobrachial pain.

The study was conducted on 37 subjects between 25–40 yrs with cervicobrachial pain and according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited in the study. NPRS, cervical ROM and NDI was assessed pre and post treatment.

P value less than 0.05 for NPRS, cervical ROM and NDI.

Neural tissue mobilization is effective in reducing pain, improve cervical ROM and improve functional activity in subjects with cervicobrachial pain between the age group 25–40 years.
