What this Trial Is About
This research aims to assess the effects of High Tone Power Therapy on neck pain and proprioception in patients with cervical radiculopathy. The study involves adults aged 35 to 50 years who have mild to moderate cervical disability due to unilateral cervical radiculopathy caused by disc prolapse. Researchers will evaluate how this therapy impacts joint position, neck disability, range of motion, and pain levels. Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups of equal size. One group will follow a selected exercise program including therapeutic ultrasound and static neck exercises. The other group will receive the same exercise program combined with High Tone Power Therapy applied to the cervical area three times per week over four weeks. This design allows comparison between the exercise alone and the combined therapy. Throughout the four-week study, participants will undergo assessments such as the cervical joint position error test, neck disability index, cervical range of motion measurements, and pain evaluation using a visual analogue scale. These evaluations will monitor changes in neck function and pain. The study will help determine the potential added benefits of High Tone Power Therapy when combined with exercise for managing cervical radiculopathy symptoms.
