The primary objective of this research was to conduct a comparative analysis of the outcomes following McKenzie therapy and neural mobilization in individuals diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy
In this RCT, 28 individuals meeting the standard criteria for cervical radiculopathy were recruited and randomly assigned to one of two groups (n=14 each). Group A underwent McKenzie exercises, while Group B received the Neural Flossing technique. To ensure consistency, both groups were provided with identical baseline care, including hot packs, TENS, and postural education. The treatment protocol consisted of three sessions weekly for a total of four weeks
488 studies on the registry are indexed under Radiculopathy; 141 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 28 is below the median of 60 across 376 interventional studies indexed under Radiculopathy.

Group B will be treated with Neural flossing technique for cervical radiculopathy
Other: Neural Flossing
Group A will be treated with Baseline therapy including Hot pack and basic postural correctional training along with McKenzie Exercises for 2-3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
Group B will be treated with Baseline therapy including Hot pack and basic postural correctional training along with Neural Flossing Technique for 2-3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
Visual Analogue Scale
It is used to measure pain and has a scale of 0-100 mm where 0 means No pain and 100 means Worst imaginable pain.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Neck Disability Index
Functional disability was evaluated using the Neck Disability Index (NDI), a 10-item questionnaire designed to measure the impact of neck pain on daily activities. Each item was scored from 0 to 5, with a total aggregate score of 50. The NDI has demonstrated high internal consistency and reliability in populations with cervical radiculopathy, with a score reduction of 5 points representing a clinically meaningful improvement."
