Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy is a form of deep heat electrotherapy known to improve tissue perfusion and neuromuscular function. Although TECAR is widely used for pain relief and mobility, its role in improving proprioception remains under-investigated, especially in cervical conditions. This study aims to bridge this gap by assessing proprioceptive outcomes in patients with cervical radiculopathy receiving TECAR therapy.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Groups:
* Control group: Receives standard physiotherapy (e.g., cervical traction, exercises).
* Experimental group: Receives TECAR therapy in addition to standard physiotherapy.
* Duration: 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
* Outcome Measures: Joint position sense (JPS) using cervical repositioning tests, pain (VAS), functional disability (NDI).
* Assessment Times: Baseline and after 4 weeks.

study group
Receives TECAR therapy in addition to standard physiotherapy.
TECAR therapy
TECAR Therapy A form of radiofrequency-based deep thermotherapy that delivers energy into tissues using frequencies between 300 kHz and 1.2 MHz.
It heats from the inside out, giving deeper and more controlled thermal effects than superficial heat modalities.
Control group
Receives sham TECAR
Sham TECAR therapy
TECAR Therapy a form of radiofrequency-based deep thermotherapy that delivers energy into tissues using frequencies between 300 kHz and 1.2 MHz.
It heats from the inside out, giving deeper and more controlled thermal effects than superficial heat modalities.
