- Abstract
Cervico brachial pain syndrome is a condition of persistent neck pain and complaints associated with arms that radiate from cervical spine either due to neural involvement and somatic referral. Study hypothesis supports physiological and anatomical variations between males and females and relates to perception of pain and hormonal variations. Thus, among therapeutic interventional techniques that is neurodynamic, lateral cervical glide technique and neck isometric exercises therapeutic effects may defer in relation to gender. The present study was carried out in trauma centre and SS hospital, BHU Varanasi. Diagnosis were made based on clinical assessment and radio imaging of X-ray and MRI scan by the Orthopaedic sugeon and sent to Physiotherapy OPD. The Patients were recruited on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and both Males and females subject were selected. The written consent has been taken by them prior to participation in this study. They were randomly divided into three groups. Patients of Group A were deliverd median nerve slider technique, while those of Group B were deliverd lateral cervical glide technique and Patients of Group C were advised Neck isometric exercises along with ergonomics advices. Outcome measure by NDI (neck disability index score) and NPRS (numeric pain rating scale) were taken before and after the treatment. Based on three-way ANOVA values and Tukey’s post-hoc comparison of means, the ‘neurodynamics’ treatment type was found to be the most effective method in treating cervicobrachial pain syndrome. The ‘isometric exercise’ treatment type was the least effective method in reducing the pain intensity. The intensity of pain was not found to be gender specific. In conclusion, the ‘Neurodynamics exercises’ is the most effective method in treating patients with cervicobrachial pain syndrome. Moreover, gender has no role on the treatment-based pain-relieving intensity in males and females suffering from cervicobrachial pain syndrome.
