This study aimed to analyze the immediate effects of median nerve mobilization integrated into Tecar therapy on pain and range of motion as a clinical intervention for patients with acute neck radiating pain due to cervical radiculopathy. 36 subjects with acute radiating pain due to cervical radiculopathy were randomly assigned to three groups depending on intervention types integrated into median nerve mobilization: (1) experimental group (EG) 1 - Tecar therapy; EG 2 - transcutaneous electrical stimulation; and control group - none. Visual analogue scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), pressure pain threshold (PPT), and grip strength (GS) were measured before and after the treatment. After the intervention, subjects of all groups showed significant decreased VAS scores (p<.05). Furthermore, changes between pre- and post-test in the ROM of cervical flexion and rotation, the PPT on upper trapezius and levator scapulae, and GS appeared to be significantly improved for subjects of the EG 1 that other two groups (p<.05). These findings suggest that imcorporating Teca therapy into median nerve mobilization may have some benefits on pain, ROM, and GS in patients with acute radiating pain due to cervical radiculopathy.
