Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Hot pack and neural mobilisation  The subjects will be given hot packs for 10 minutes as a warm up before the treatment. Neural mobilization (NM) using a slider technique in a smooth and rhythmic manner. Preparation: Upper Limb Tension Test 1 was used to position the patient. Slider Technique: Alternation of elbow extension (loading the median nerve) and wrist flexion (unloading the median nerve), with elbow flexion (unloading) and wrist extension (loading). Neural mobilization: will be given 15 minutes 3 times/week for 8 weeks. Each mobilization will be of 60 seconds. Rest period of 30 seconds.  
Intervention  Topical magnesium and neural mobilisation  The subjects will be given hot packs for 10 minutes as a warm up before the treatment. Neural mobilization (NM) using a slider technique in a smooth and rhythmic manner. Preparation: Upper Limb Tension Test 1 was used to position the patient. Slider Technique: Alternation of elbow extension (loading the median nerve) and wrist flexion (unloading the median nerve), with elbow flexion (unloading) and wrist extension (loading). Neural mobilization: will be given 15 minutes 3 times/week for 8 weeks. Each mobilization will be of 60 seconds. Rest period of 30 seconds. Followed by magnesium supplementation using pure magnesium Spray 5 sprays at both wrist (each side), 5 spray at back of the neck. 2 times/week, thrice weekly for 8 weeks. Detailed instructions on dosage and administration will be provided to participants. Participants will be instructed to adhere strictly to the supplementation regimen

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Upper limb tension test (ULTT): is a clinical assessment used to evaluate neural tension or irritation in the upper extremity. It involves a series of movements to stretch the nerves of the arm and assess symptoms like pain, tingling, or numbness, which may indicate nerve involvement. The test is often used to diagnose conditions such as cervical radiculopathy or carpal tunnel syndrome. In this there are 4 test ULTT1, ULTT2A, ULTT2B and ULTT3 out these if 3 of 4 comes positive then we can rule out cervical radiculopathy.
2. Neck Disability Index (NDI): its measure the impact of cervical radiculopathy. Scores range from 0 to 5 for each of the 10 items. The top score is 50. A percentage score can be created by multiplying the acquired score by two. On rare occasions, a respondent will omit to answer a particular question. The average of all other items is then added to the completed items.

Brief Summary   Cervical radiculopathy (CR) is a debilitating illness that adversely affects a person’s ability to function physically, mentally, and socially. The complicated presentation of cervical radiculopathy (CR) is linked to a greater reliance on healthcare services. An objective loss of sensory and/or motor function resulting from a conduction impairment to a spinal nerve or its root is known as CR. This can happen with or without discomfort. . Radiculopathy-related pain is referred to as painful radiculopathy, and if there are documented poor sensory symptoms, it may meet the criteria for definitive neuropathic pain. Magnesium works as an analgesic by inhibiting the postsynaptic N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors spinal neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. The physiological blockage of the calcium channels of the NMDA receptor can be restored by magnesium delivery. Magnesium treatment is thought to have an antinociceptive effect by using this process to reduce central sensitization, wind-up, and diminish dorsal horn neuron activity A randomized controlled trial study aim to analyze the effect of neural mobilization and topical magnesium on anxiety, depression, sleep quality and functional activities of daily living on cervical radiculopathy among middle age adults.
