Brief Summary

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

PURPOSE:

to investigate effect of electromagnetic field therapy on neck pain and proprioception in cervical radiculopathy patients

BACKGROUND: Cervical radiculopathy is a clinical condition resulting from compression of cervical nerve roots Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is an easy, non-invasive, safe, and relatively new treatment method that is used with growing interest in physical and rehabilitation medicine. Historically, the benefits from magnetotherapy have been reported for patients with musculoskeletal and neurological disorders

Detailed Description

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

Thirty four patients with cervical radiculopathy 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 electromagnetic field therapy, three times per week for four weeks. The evaluation methods by Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P), cervical joint position error test (JPET), Neck disability index , and Cervical range of motion (CROM) goniometer device measurements
