Egypt45 participantsStarted 2026-02-01
Plain-language summary
This study will be conducted to examine
1. The efficacy of mechanical traction from decompression angles combined with neural mobilization on the H reflex of flexor carpi radialis.
2. The efficacy of mechanical traction from decompression angles combined with neural mobilization on ultrasonography changes.
3. The efficacy of mechanical traction from decompression angles with neural mobilization has a Numeric Pain Rating Scale.
4. The efficacy of mechanical traction from decompression angles combined with neural mobilization on Neck Disability Index.

Inclusion criteria
✓. The patient's age will be ranged from 30 to 45 years old for both genders.
✓. The patient's with unilateral C5-6 and C6-7 (posterior lateral disc protrusion) confirmed by T 2, axial view of magnetic resonance imaging
✓. The patient's symptoms more than 3 months and positive provocative test for cervical radiculopathy (Spurling's test, shoulder abduction test, neck distraction test, and upper limb tension test 1 (Median nerve).
