Abstract

Background: Radiculopathy can cause pain and numbness along a pinched nerve.

Objective: To investigate how people with cervical radiculopathy respond to intense cervical traction in terms of depression, sleeplessness, and quality of life (QoL).

Methods: Two equal groups of forty male patients with unilateral cervical radiculopathy were randomly assigned. In addition to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and other treatments, twenty individuals in group I received mechanical cervical traction. Group II consisted of twenty individuals who received only TENS treatment. Before and after treatment, every participant completed the Arabic versions of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36).

Results: While there was no significant difference in group II, there was a significant decline in group I visual analog scale (P = 0.001), depression subscale of the hospital anxiety and depression score (P = 0.001), and ISI (P = 0.001). Eight domains of SF-36 showed a significant increase in group I. These domains included physical functioning (P = 0.001), role limitations due to physical health (P = 0.001), role limitations due to emotional problems (P = 0.001), and energy (P = 0.001). In group II, there was a non-significant increase nevertheless.

Conclusion: Cervical traction improved individuals' QoL, depression, and insomnia, suggesting the effectiveness of it with TENS for cervical radiculopathy patients.

强化颈椎牵引对颈椎病患者抑郁、失眠和生活质量的疗效。
背景:神经根病会导致神经受压后疼痛和麻木:颈椎病会导致神经受压后出现疼痛和麻木:研究颈椎病患者对强力颈椎牵引在抑郁、失眠和生活质量(QoL)方面的反应:将 40 名单侧颈椎病男性患者随机分为两组。除了经皮神经电刺激(TENS)和其他治疗外,第一组的 20 名患者还接受了机械性颈椎牵引。第二组的 20 人只接受 TENS 治疗。治疗前后,每位受试者都完成了阿拉伯语版的医院焦虑抑郁量表(HADS)、失眠严重程度指数(ISI)和短表 36 健康调查(SF-36):结果:虽然第二组没有明显差异,但第一组的视觉模拟量表(P = 0.001)、医院焦虑抑郁量表的抑郁分量表(P = 0.001)和 ISI(P = 0.001)均有明显下降。在第一组中,SF-36 的八个领域均有显著增加,包括身体功能(P = 0.001)、身体健康导致的角色限制(P = 0.001)、情绪问题导致的角色限制(P = 0.001)和精力(P = 0.001)。结论:颈椎牵引改善了患者的生活质量:结论:颈椎牵引改善了患者的生活质量、抑郁和失眠,这表明颈椎病患者在接受颈椎牵引治疗的同时接受 TENS 治疗是有效的。

期刊介绍: NeuroRehabilitation, an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, publishes manuscripts focused on scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. We publish unsolicited papers detailing original work/research that covers the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease and other neurological disorders. We also publish thematically organized issues that focus on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed.
