Effect of High-Power Laser Therapy on Disc Morphology and Functional Outcome in Patients With Cervical Radiculopathy

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of high-power laser therapy (HPLT) in patients with cervical radiculopathy, focusing on its impact on disc morphology, and overall functional activity

Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant. • Individuals with severe comorbidities that could interfere with the study, such as uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, or systemic inflammatory diseases. Individuals with severe cervical stenosis or spinal cord compression. • Individuals any form of malignancy, active infection, or dermatological issues on the neck. • Patients using opioid analgesics or other strong pain medications that could alter the results. • Previous treatment with high-power laser therapy within the last six months.
