Effects Of Scapulothoracic Intervention With Or Without Neural Mobilization In Patients With Cervico-Brachialgia
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Cervicobrachialgia is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by neck pain radiating into the upper limb due to neural and musculoskeletal dysfunctions. It is often associated with pain, functional disability, and increased neural mechanosensitivity, significantly affecting daily activities and quality of life. Various physiotherapy interventions have been used to manage this condition, including neural mobilization and scapulothoracic rehabilitation. However, evidence regarding the combined effectiveness of these interventions remains limited.

Interventions
Scapulothoracic intervention with Neural Mobilization
Neural Mobilization: Pain-free tension 1. Scapular Mobilization: * Grades III-IV joint mobs (elevation/depression/retraction) * 3 sets × 10 reps 2. Strengthening: * Serratus punches (progress to resistance bands) * Lower trap raises (prone Y-lifts) * 3 sets × 12 reps 3. Neural Mobilization: * ULNT1 sliding technique (6 sec hold/6 sec rest)
Neural Mobilization
Neural Mobilization: Pain-free tension 1. Cervical Isometrics: * 4-way neck contractions (5-sec hold) * 3 sets × 10 reps 2. Postural Education: • Ergonomics training 3. Modalities: • TENS (80Hz, 100μs) or moist heat pack 4. Neural Mobilization: * ULNT1 (same as Group A)
