Key Points

To investigate the clinical efficacy of nerve mobilization combined with traction and tuina for treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.
100 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were randomly divided into two groups, each with 50 patients.
The treatment group received nerve mobilization, traction, and tuina, while the control group received traction and tuina only.
Outcomes were assessed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks post-treatment using VAS and NDI scores.
Both groups showed significantly reduced VAS and NDI scores at 2 and 4 weeks compared to baseline (P<0.01).
The treatment group had lower VAS and NDI scores than the control group (P<0.05).
The treatment group showed higher cure rates and overall efficacy than the control group (P<0.01 and P<0.05 respectively).

Explores nerve mobilization with traction and tuina for improving outcomes in cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, suggesting a significant benefit.
