This study determined whether 3 sessions per week of rotation-traction manipulation treatment are superior to 1 session per week for symptomatic outcomes in cervical radiculopathy based on a multicenter randomized controlled trial., conditionsModule conditions: Cervical Radiculopathy, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, maskingDescription: This study did not implement blinding for the manipulative therapists and participants. However, blinding procedures were employed for the outcome assessors and data analysts, meaning that they remained unaware of the group., whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 216, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: High-frequency rotation-traction manipulation, interventions name: Low-frequency rotation-traction manipulation, interventions name: Cervical traction, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Pain, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Pain, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Pain, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Pain, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Pain, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Pain, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Numbness, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Numbness, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Numbness, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Numbness, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Numbness, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Visual Analog Scale for Numbness, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Neck Disability Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Neck Disability Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Neck Disability Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Neck Disability Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Neck Disability Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Neck Disability Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Short Form 12, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Short Form 12, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Short Form 12, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Short Form 12, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Short Form 12, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Short Form 12, secondaryOutcomes measure: The total cost, secondaryOutcomes measure: The recurrence rate, secondaryOutcomes measure: Expectation of Treatment and Credibility Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Expectation of Treatment and Credibility Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Adverse reactions, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 40 Years, maximumAge: 65 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Wangjing Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, city: Beijing, state: Beijing, zip: 100102, country: China, contacts name: Xu Wei, Ph.D, role: CONTACT, phone: 13488716557, email: weixu.007@163.com, contacts name: Tianxiao Feng, Ph.D, role: CONTACT, phone: 15733196045, email: fengtianxiao96@163.com, contacts name: Xu Wei, Ph.D, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Aifeng Liu, Ph.D, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Yanguo Wang, Ph.D, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Zhenhua Li, Ph.D, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 39.9075, lon: 116.39723, hasResults: False
