Cervical radiculopathy is characterized by pain, sensory disturbances, and impaired neuromuscular control due to nerve root compression. Proprioception dysfunction is often an overlooked component of this condition and can affect balance, posture, and motor control.
TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy is a form of deep heat electrotherapy known to improve tissue perfusion and neuromuscular function. Although TECAR is widely used for pain relief and mobility, its role in improving proprioception remains under-investigated, especially in cervical conditions. This study aims to bridge this gap by assessing proprioceptive outcomes in patients with cervical radiculopathy receiving TECAR therapy.
488 studies on the registry are indexed under Radiculopathy; 141 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 80 is above the median of 60 across 376 interventional studies indexed under Radiculopathy.

TECAR Therapy A form of radiofrequency-based deep thermotherapy that delivers energy into tissues using frequencies between 300 kHz and 1.2 MHz. It heats from the inside out, giving deeper and more controlled thermal effects than superficial heat modalities.
