Young IA et al. - The results suggest that the addition of mechanical cervical traction to a multimodal treatment program of manual therapy and exercise yields no significant additional benefit to pain, function, or disability in patients with cervical radiculopathy

Exclusive Author Commentary
Ian A. Young, 07/11/09

Although traction provided no additional benefit in this study, the authors feel that cervical traction may have a place in certain patients with cervical radiculopathy. Thus, subsequent investigations examining subgroups and traction at different dosages may be of interest in this patient population.
