Protocol summary

Study aim
Objectives : The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cervical spine(C5,C6,C7) mobilization with median nuerodynamic technique in the pain relief and Neck Disability Index and elbow range of motion for patients with cervical radiculopathy.
Design
Design: This study is an double blinded interventional clinical trial .36 patients with cervical radiculopathy randomly allocated to 3 different groups. This study was carried out in physical therapy clinics affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.
Settings and conduct

Exclusion criteria: patients with radial and ulna nerve involvement, patients with neck pain alone or arm pain alone, carpal tunnel syndrome.
Intervention groups
The patients in group A received mobilization technique and electrical stimulation and heat therapy, in group B received median nerve neurodynamic technique, and electrical stimulation and heat therapy ,in group C received electrical stimulation and heat therapy for 20 minutes, respectively.
Main outcome variables
main outcome measures: The mean neck pain intensity , neck disability ,The mean range of motion (ROM) of elbow extension , the F-wave from flexor carpi radialis to evaluate function of median nerve.
