Brief Summary

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

The purposes of this study are to Investigate adding low frequency high intensity magnetic therapy to cervical stabilization exercises on pain intensity, function, ROM, cervical endurance, and cervical proprioception errors in patients with cervical spondylosis.

Detailed Description

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

Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative process of the cervical spine. Pain in the neck and/or arms, neck stiffness, and headaches are the usual symptoms of cervical spondylosis . Low frequency high intensity magnetic therapy causes short term immediate effect in the relieve pain and improve function in patients with cervical spondylosis . Cervical stabilization causes decrease in neck pain and neck disability as well as a significant increase in cervical muscle endurance and cervical range of motion after the intervention. It also demonstrates a more ideal upper body posture and improved cervical proprioception. In the present study, therefore, we aimed to investigate adding low frequency high intensity magnetic therapy to CSE on management of cervical spondylosis. This study will be a benefit in the physical therapy field and may guide rehabilitation programs of physical therapy towards better results through decreasing time needed to perform activity of daily living, decreasing dependency and making patient an active member in society.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The selected patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups study group (GI), and control group (GII). The study group (GI) will receive low Frequency High Intensity magnetic therapy in addition to cervical stabilization exercise protocol . The control group (GII) will receive sham magnetic therapy in addition to, cervical stabilization exercise protocol.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
The patients in control group will receive sham magnetic therapy in addition to, cervical stabilization exercise protocol.
