Comparative Effects of Nerve Flossing and Deep Neck Flexor Muscle Strengthening on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability on Cervical Spinal Stenosis
Sponsor: Green International University
Summary
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of Nerve Flossing and Deep Neck Flexor strengthening exercises in individuals with cervical spinal stenosis. The study aims to determine which treatment is more effective in reducing neck pain, improving cervical range of motion, and enhancing the ability to perform daily activities. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Nerve Flossing or Deep Neck Flexor exercises for specified duration. Both groups will attend physiotherapy sessions 3 times per week as assigned. Outcomes such as pain intensity, neck disability, and range of motion will be measured before and after the intervention using standard assessment tools. This study will help identify a more effective physiotherapy approach for managing symptoms of cervical spinal stenosis.

Conditions
Interventions
Nerve Flossing
This intervention involves controlled, low-amplitude movements of the neck and upper limb to mobilize the cervical and upper limb neural tissues. The technique aims to reduce mechanical sensitivity of the nerves, improve neural mobility, and alleviate nerve-related pain in patients with cervical spinal stenosis. The specific dosage, frequency, and duration will be applied as per the study protocol.
Deep Neck Flexor Strengthening
Low-load, targeted exercises to improve activation and endurance of the deep cervical flexor muscles. Focuses on enhancing cervical stability and posture. Frequency, duration, and repetitions will follow the study protocol.
