About this study

Forty two patients with Cervical Radiculopathy will participate in this study. The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to High Tone Power Therapy, three times per week for four weeks. The evaluation methods are cervical joint position error test, neck disability index, Cervical range of motion (CROM) and visual analogue scale

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Their ages range from 35 to 50 years.
  • Both sex
  • With mild to moderate cervical disability according to the neck disability index
  • Unilateral cervical radiculopathy for more than 6 months.
  • Cervical radiculopathy due to disc prolapse (C5-C6) (C6-C7) mild to moderate or disc prolapse according to magnetic resonance image (MRI).
  • Normal body mass index (18.5 - 24.99Kg/m2).

Exclusion criteria

  • Any other musculoskeletal disorders of the spine or upper extremity
  • Patients with any other Neurological deficits, psychiatric disease Cervical myelopathy, Cognitive problems, vertebral fractures and previous history of spine or cervical surgery.
  • Neck pain with vertigo or with bilateral upper limbs referred pain.
  • Clinical instability, recent trauma and vertebrobasilar insufficiency.
  • Structural abnormalities of the spine, osteoporosis, and spasmodic torticollis.
  • Inflammatory or other specific disorders of spina such as ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis

Treatment and study plan

selected exercise program

Other

therapeutic ultrasound, Static neck exercise

High Tone Power Therapy

Device

High Tone Power Therapy delivered in cervical region 3 times per week for four weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. cervical joint position error test

    Time frame: four weeks

    The subject will be instructed to perform an active head rotation to one side, after which returns back to the neutral or starting head position.

    The test will be performed in a 3 trials in each direction

  2. Neck disability index

    Time frame: four weeks

    includes 10 items as follows: Pain Intensity, Personal Care, Lifting, Reading, Headaches, Concentration, Work, Driving, Sleeping, and Recreation, with a score (0:5) for every point. The maximum score is 50, with the interpretation scoring (no disability = 0: 4, mild disability 5:14, moderate disability 15:24, severe disability 25: 34 and complete disability above 34

  3. CROM

    Time frame: four weeks

    Cervical range of motion measured using CROM in different directions

Secondary outcomes

  1. Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P)

    Time frame: four weeks

    is a method for measuring the intensity of pain on a horizontal straight line of fixed length (10 cm), as the left end of the line showed the greatest pain score & the right end showed the least pain scores, then the patient was asked to put a mark, on the line according to his/her pain sensation, with a higher score representing the higher level of pain
