N2  - There are many physiotherapeutic programs to treat patients with cervical radiculopathy, with no program superior to others. The traditional management of those patients was mostly driven by the training of the individual clinician than the need of the patient. To compare a multimodal versus individualized programs effects on pain, neck function and mobility in patients with unilateral C6-C7 cervical radiculopathy. Thirty patients were randomly assigned into (A) a multimodal group: fifteen patients with a mean age 40.8 (± 6.15) who received manual therapy, intermittent traction and deep flexors strengthening, (B) an individualized treatment group: fifteen patients with a mean age 41.26 (± 6.93) who received a program based on clinical decision algorithm that target specific relevant clinical signs and symptoms. Neck and arm pain severity, neck function and mobility were assessed using the numerical pain rating scale, the neck disability index and cervical range of motion device, respectively, before and after 4 weeks
