Objective: To compare the efficacy of Neural Tissue Mobilization and Manual Traction in patients with Cervical Spondylosis. Study Design: Experimental design Method: 30 subjects of cervical spondylosis, age group 50-65 yrs participated in the study and were divided into 3 groups (10 subjects in each group). Group A was treated with neural tissue mobilization, neck isometrics and hot pack; Group B was treated with cervical manual traction, neck isometrics and hot pack & Group C was treated with hot pack only. Then the results were compared on NDI scale, VAS scale and active ROM of cervical spine.Result: This study showed significant results of cervical manual traction on all outcome measures. However, neural tissue mobilization was significant on NDI scale, cervical right rotation and left rotation. Conclusion: The study concluded that in patients with cervical spondylosis, treatment with cervical manual traction, neck isometrics and hot pack helps in reducing the pain, increasing the range of motion of cervical spine and efficiency in activities of daily living, as seen by improvement in VAS scale, active ROM of cervical spine and NDI scale respectively. Cervical Manual Traction showed significantly better results on all outcome measures as compared to Neural Tissue Mobilization in patients with cervical spondylosis.
