About this study
Official title: Effects of Slider Versus Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique Along With Mulligan Spinal Mobilization on Pain, Range of Motion and Disability in Patients With Cervical Radiculopathy.
This study will be a randomized clinical trial in which Slider versus Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization will be applied on the individuals with cerviculorediculopathy and changes will be recorded using different methods and tools. Convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 40 patients will be recruited. Patients will be randomly allocated into two different groups through sealed envelope method.20 patients will be allocated in each group A will be treated with Slider Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique; Group B will be treated with Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique .Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI) and goniometer will be used as Data collecting tools. After data collection from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed.
Read the detailed description
Neck pain is widespread and causes significant pain and disability. In the setting of cervical radiculopathy, because the nerve root of a spinal nerve is compressed It is frequently caused by cervical disc herniation and cervical spondylitis. Compression can result from intervertebral disc herniation, osteophyte formation, or other mass effects near the exit foramen of the cervical spine. This results in lower motor neurons symptoms and often presents with arm pain, weakness, and/or sensory loss, with or without associated neck pain. The most common causes of cervical radiculopathy are cervical disc herniation and cervical spondylosis.
The main aim of our study to determine which combination of techniques Slider versus Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization is more effective on Pain, Range of Motion and Disability in patients with Cervical Radiculopathy.
Combination of mulligan mobilization with slider and tensioners techniques to determine which combination of technique is more helpful in reducing overall disease burden and will help in increasing Quality of life.Bothcombination combination are checked individually before but their effects are not compared previously.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Slider Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique | Active comparator | Therapist approaches the desired level of spinous process from medial aspect of the thumb of one hand which is reinforced by the index finger of the other hand. Second therapist places his axilla over the patient's shoulder to add shoulder depression component. The second therapist performs components of the nerve to be test one by one (distal to proximal or proximal to distal sequence) depending upon patient's offending movements and painful range.Pure transverse glide is performed from affected to unaffected side. While the glide is sustained, another therapist mobilizes the median nerve by performing desired neurodynamic sliding movement. Apply this protocol for 4 weeks 12 Sessions (3 sessions in a week) and 10 sec rest between each segment, 3 sets of 10 repetitions.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
NPRS consists of a scale with 0-10 readings. The zero denotes no pain while 1, 2, 3 denotes to mild pain, 4, 5, 6 denotes to moderate pain while 7-10 denotes to severe pain.
Measured: 4 Weeks
Neck disability index
.The NDI consists of ten questions. Each question has six different assertions expressing progressive levels of pain or limitation in activities. Item scores range from 0 (no pain or limitation) to 5 (as much pain as possible or maximal limitation). The total NDI score ranges from 0 to 5 points. Higher scores indicate greater disability.
Measured: 4 Weeks
Goniometer
Active Range of Motion of the patient will be assessed using a universal standard goniometer for cervical flexion, extension, side flexion (left and right), rotation (left and right). The data will be collected at baseline cervical goniometry.
Measured: 4 Weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Slider Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique and Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique in people with Cervical Radiculopathy, 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 6 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (time frame: 4 Weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06339970, which also lists 11 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.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Sep 2024.
