Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the Effect of gross Myofascial Release on pain and function in cervical radiculopathy patients. BACKGROUND: cervical radiculopathy is considered serious problems causing neck pain \& radiating pain which affect physical inactivity and function of a patient, thus gross Myofascial Release is a form of manual therapy technique that has a profound effect upon the musculoskeletal system.

HYPOTHESES:

This study hypothesized that:

gross Myofascial Release on pain and function in cervical radiculopathy patients RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there an effect of gross Myofascial Release on pain and function in cervical radiculopathy patients?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Forty 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 conventional selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to gross Myofascial Release, three times per week for four weeks. The evaluation methods are visual analogue scale (VAS), Electro-goniometer, Quick DASH scale, and Neck disability index
