ABSTRACT: Cervical Radiculopathy is a common clinical condition with a prevalence of 3.5 per thousand people and the annual incidence is from 83 cases to 210 cases per one lakh people with a peak of 50 to 59 years which is the result of compressive or inflammatory pathology from disc herniation, Spondylitic spur, or cervical osteophytes etc. The aim of the study is “To determine the effect of neural flossing technique in comparison to the standard treatment in patients with cervical radiculopathy”. A pre-test and post-test structured experimental study design was conducted using Convenience sampling with 40 participants, aged between 35-65 with Cervical Radiculopathy and assigned into a group of two where; Group A (Control group) received NFT along with Conventional therapy and Group B (Experimental group) received only Conventional therapy. A pre-post value was assessed using NPRS, NDI, Cervical ROM and Shoulder ROM. The result of this study depicted that the control group showed significant improvement in the outcome measures when compared to Conventional group. It was thus concluded that Neural Flossing Technique along with the standard treatment for Cervical Radiculopathy was found to be beneficial in reducing pain and improving Cervical and Shoulder mobility.
