Introduction

While conservative therapy may be effective, it is crucial to emphasize that very few of them have been properly investigated in randomized, placebo-controlled studies.  It is therefore the present study is aimed to determine the effects of mobilization techniques in reducing neck disability index among patients with cervical radiculopathy

Methodology

A Randomized controlled trial was conducted in which parameters between two groups. A total of 44 participants diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy were included in the study. Participants were then equally divided into group A and group B constituting each group with 22 individuals. Study included both males and females with an age group between 20-60 years.

Results

Following their respective therapies, both Group A and Group B displayed statistically significant decreases in neck impairment. Mulligan Mobilization resulted in a more significant drop in Northwick Park Questionnaire scores in Group A, with a mean difference of 20.955 ± 4.25 (p<0.05). Group B, which received Maitland Mobilization, had a drop in Northwick Park Questionnaire scores, with a mean difference of 9.72 ± 6.01 (p<0.05).

Conclusion

Mobilization approaches resulted in significant improvements in neck disability ratings, according to the findings. Mulligan mobilization, on the other hand, reduced neck impairment more than Maitland mobilization.
