The objective of this clinical trial was to investigate the effects of cervical spine exercises combined with nerve mobilization in patients with radiculopathy.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Whether cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization is effective for cervical radiculopathy. 2. Is there any difference between cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization and single method? The participants were patients with cervical radiculopathy and were divided into three groups in this study.
1\. Experimental group: received cervical spine operation combined with nerve mobilization 2. Control group 1: cervical spine exercises were performed 3. Control group 2: received neuromobilization

cervical spine exercises
Other interventionCervical spine exercise training is a method to improve the neck function through the patient's self-exercise.
Neuromobilization
Other interventionNeuromobilization is a technical technique for rehabilitation therapists to loosen the trapped nerves of patients with professional methods.
Visual analogue scale
A scale used to evaluate pain. The scale consists of 0 to 10 points, with a higher score indicating greater pain and a lower one.
Range of motion
The range of motion of the associated joints in the neck was measured using a joint protractor
Muscle strength
The microFET2 instrument was used to test the muscle strength of the neck related muscles.
Tanaka Yasuhisa Cervical Spondylopathy Symptom Scale
To assess the status of the patient's cervical spine. The scale includes a score of -2 to 20, with the larger the score, the less severe the symptoms associated with the cervical spine.
neck disability index. The total score ranges from 0 (accessibility) to 50 (total paralysis), with higher scores indicating more severe dysfunction.
