Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Cervical radiculopathy: Persistent symptoms for at least 3 months. Positive ULTT (Upper limb tension test) No allergic reaction to patch test.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Individuals with severe cardiovascular disorders, renal impairment, Diabetes type II or other medical conditions where magnesium supplementation may pose a risk. Participants with known allergies or sensitivities to magnesium or any components of the transdermal lotion. Individuals currently taking medications or supplements that may interact with magnesium, affecting its absorption or efficacy. Pregnant or lactating individuals due to potential risks to the developing fetus or nursing infant. Any history of recent trauma or surgery before the study initiation.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Upper limb tension test (ULTT): is a clinical assessment used to evaluate neural tension or irritation in the upper extremity. It involves a series of movements to stretch the nerves of the arm and assess symptoms like pain, tingling, or numbness, which may indicate nerve involvement. The test is often used to diagnose conditions such as cervical radiculopathy or carpal tunnel syndrome. In this there are 4 test ULTT1, ULTT2A, ULTT2B and ULTT3 out these if 3 of 4 comes positive then we can rule out cervical radiculopathy. 2. Neck Disability Index (NDI): its measure the impact of cervical radiculopathy. Scores range from 0 to 5 for each of the 10 items. The top score is 50. A percentage score can be created by multiplying the acquired score by two. On rare occasions, a respondent will omit to answer a particular question. The average of all other items is then added to the completed items. Timepoint: Baseline, 3 weeks and follow up after 6 months	—
