Cervical Radiculopathy is called as “Pinched Nerve”. It occurs when the nerve is irritated or compressed where it branches from spinal cord. Neck pain, Numbness, tingling sensation, weakness of arm and hand are the major clinical features of Cervical Radiculopathy. Methods- Patients were divided into two groups. Group A (20 participants) were treated with hot pack and intermittent cervical traction. Group B (20 participants) were treated with hot pack and neural butler mobilization. We measured the pain, disability and radicular symptoms of neck using NPRS, NDI and GROC scales at day 1 and end of 4th week. At the end of 4th week, data analysis was done using paired and un-paired t-test and significant results were found. Result-Comparison of post intervention at 4 th week of treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in improvement in outcome measures between two groups. Group A participants have shown greater percentage of improvement than Group B. ConclusionIntermittent cervical traction with hot pack was significantly effective in improving pain, disability and decreasing radicular symptoms in radiculopathy patients.
