Brief summary: To evaluate the effects of kinesiotherapy exercises with cervical mobilization in Cervicobrachial Neuralgia.

Detailed description: Cervicobrachial Neuralgia is characterized by pain and discomfort in the arm, specifically in conjunction with pain in the cervical spine. It has been observed that a significant number of patients seeking therapy for cervical spine diseases are affected by this type of pain. When an illness is chronic, it has a tendency to manifest as a persistent or recurring issue that has a negative impact on an individual's mental and physical well-being.

It is a randomized clinical trial. 30 patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited by non-probability convenience sampling and then randomly divided in two groups using lottery method. Group A will receive the strengthening and kinesiotherapy exercises along with Brugger's relief position training with 10 minutes per session and cervical lateral glide mobilization, 3 times a week. And the group B will receive the cervical lateral glide mobilization. Pain levels will be measured using a visual analogue scale and goniometer will be used to measure neck ranges.The data will be analyzed by using SPSS version25.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Both male and female
* Age: 30-50 years
* Positive upper limb neurodynamic test
* Patients having neck pain radiating to upper limb and limited ROM with articular dysfunction.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia
* Surgery of cervical/thoracic spine
* Limited glenohumeral joint movement
* Presence of neurological disease (stroke, multiple sclerosis)

Primary outcomes:
measure: Pain: Visual analogue scale (VAS)
timeFrame: 3 weeks
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Range of Motion: Goniometer
timeFrame: 3 weeks
Other outcomes:
measure: Cervical radiculopathy impact scale (CRIS)
timeFrame: 3 weeks
