Common in individuals in their fifties, its annual incidence is 83 per 100,000 people. Psychosocial factors such as anxiety, depression, and fear avoidance further influence its severity and impact. Modern musculoskeletal issues, such as prolonged computer use and poor posture, also contribute to cervical problems.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions on clinical and psychosocial outcomes in patients with cervical radiculopathy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Systematic review (PROSPERO ID: CRD42025614571).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Literature was sourced from PubMed and Google Scholar.

Findings indicate that physiotherapy interventions\u2014such as exercise therapy, manual therapy, and electrotherapy\u2014significantly reduce pain, enhance range of motion, and improve functional capacity. These interventions also positively impact psychosocial outcomes by reducing anxiety, depression, and fear avoidance. However, evidence comparing their effectiveness against standard rehabilitation remains inconclusive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review highlights the beneficial effects of physiotherapy interventions on both clinical and psychosocial health in cervical radiculopathy patients.
