About this study
Official title: Effects of Kinesiotherapy Exercises Along With Cervical Mobilization in Cervicobrachial Neuralgia.
To evaluate the effects of kinesiotherapy exercises with cervical mobilization in Cervicobrachial Neuralgia.
Read the detailed description
Cervicobrachial Neuralgia is characterized by pain and discomfort in the arm, specifically in conjunction with pain in the cervical spine. It has been observed that a significant number of patients seeking therapy for cervical spine diseases are affected by this type of pain. When an illness is chronic, it has a tendency to manifest as a persistent or recurring issue that has a negative impact on an individual's mental and physical well-being.
It is a randomized clinical trial. 30 patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited by non-probability convenience sampling and then randomly divided in two groups using lottery method. Group A will receive the strengthening and kinesiotherapy exercises along with Brugger's relief position training with 10 minutes per session and cervical lateral glide mobilization, 3 times a week. And the group B will receive the cervical lateral glide mobilization. Pain levels will be measured using a visual analogue scale and goniometer will be used to measure neck ranges.The data will be analyzed by using SPSS version25.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
kinesiotherapy exercises with cervical mobilizationProcedure or surgery
Kinesiotherapy Exercises includes Neck stretches , shoulder and upper back mobility, pectoral stretch, cervical isometrics, shoulder blade protraction and retraction
cervical MobilizationProcedure or surgery
This includes Cervical lateral glide mobilization
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Kinesiotherapy exercises with cervical mobilization | Experimental | This group will receive kinesiotherapy exercises along with Cervical Mobilization Receives: Procedure: kinesiotherapy exercises with cervical mobilization; Procedure: cervical Mobilization |
| Cervical Mobilization | Active comparator | This group will receive Cervical lateral glide mobilization. Receives: Procedure: kinesiotherapy exercises with cervical mobilization; Procedure: cervical Mobilization |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain: Visual analogue scale (VAS)
VAS is a psychometric instrument used to measure subjective characteristics or attitudes, typically pain intensity or other subjective experiences.
Measured: 3 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Range of Motion: Goniometer
It is an instrument used to measure angles, typically the range of motion of joints in the human body.
Measured: 3 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing kinesiotherapy exercises with cervical mobilization and cervical Mobilization in people with Cervico-Brachial Neuralgia, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Tuba Ali, MS-DPT (03374872121, tubaali7795@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pain: Visual analogue scale (VAS) (time frame: 3 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06459466, which also lists 8 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
