Brief Summary:
BACKGROUND: Upper limb nerve root dysfunction with increased active myofascial trigger point in upper trapezius is common problem in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Extracorpeal shock wave on the myo-electric and nerve function responses in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
Detailed Description:
Randomized controlled clinical trial among Forty eight (48) patients with cervical radiculopathy.
They will be allocated randomly by sealed envelopes into two groups: Group (A): will receive a designed physical therapy program in addition to sham Extracorpeal shock wave on upper trapezius. Group (B): will receive Focused Extracorpeal shock wave on the active myofascial trigger points in upper trapezius in addition to the same physical therapy program as in group A.
Somatosensory evoked potential for upper limb median nerve will be applied using the Electromyography (EMG) device. Hand grip strength will be assessed using the handheld dynamometer (HHD) , Level of radiating pain will be assessed using the numeric rating scale , Pain and tenderness in upper trapezius muscle will be also assessed using Pressure pain threshold (PPT).
