Purpose: This study examined the effects of sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGs) combined with active neural mobilization techniques on pain, the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and range of motion (ROM) in patients with cervical radiculopathy. Methods: Thirty patients who attended W Hospital in Seoul and fulfilled predefined inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to one of two groups: an experimental group (manual therapy, exercise program, and electrotherapy with SNAGs and active neural mobilization [n = 15]) and a control group (manual therapy, exercise program, and electrotherapy [n = 15]). Results: The experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in visual analog scale pain scores and NDI compared with the control group following treatment (p < .05). Similarly, the experimental group exhibited a statistically significant improvement in the ROM of cervical rotation on the affected side compared with the control group after the intervention (p < .05). Conclusion: SNAGs combined with active neural mobilization techniques were effective in decreasing pain and improving neck function and activities of daily living in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
