Does the Combination of Cervical and Sacroiliac Mobilization Enhance Clinical Outcomes in Cervical Radiculopathy?
Sponsor: Fenerbahce University
Summary
This study evaluated whether adding mobilization and myofascial techniques targeting the lumbar and sacroiliac regions to cervical-focused manual therapy provides additional clinical benefits in individuals with cervical radiculopathy. Changes in pain, disability, cervical range of motion, and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) clinical findings were assessed. The study also examined whether changes in SIJ clinical findings were associated with changes in cervical clinical outcomes, thereby exploring the relationship between cervical and lumbopelvic responses to an extended regional manual therapy approach.

Interventions
Cervical manual-focused manual therapy
Manual therapy targeting the cervical region was administered to individuals with cervical radiculopathy. The intervention consisted of cervical-focused manual therapy techniques aimed at addressing pain, mobility limitations, and clinical symptoms associated with cervical radiculopathy. All interventions were delivered by the same clinician with 21 years of clinical experience in manual therapy.
Extended Regional Manual Therapy
Additional manual therapy targeting the lumbar and sacroiliac regions was administered in combination with cervical-focused manual therapy. The intervention included mobilization and myofascial techniques directed at the lumbar and sacroiliac regions. This extended regional approach was designed to evaluate whether treatment beyond the cervical region provides additional effects on cervical clinical outcomes and sacroiliac joint clinical findings. All interventions were delivered by the same clinician with 21 years of clinical experience in manual therapy.
