Our study includes patients with pinched neck nerves who will receive neural mobilization (gentle stretches to improve nerve mobility and reduce pain) and pain neuroscience education (teaching about pain for better understanding and control) to see its effect on pain, function, and quality of life.

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Unilateral radicular symptoms in the arm. 2. Pain on NPRS = 3. 3. Diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy (Clinical Prediction Rule) will be applied i.e. consisting of spurling’s test, distraction test, and ULTT (Upper Limb Tension Test) for Median Nerve positive. 4.
