Resumen
[ES] La radiculopatía cervical (RC) es un trastorno inflamatorio de la raíz nerviosa a nivel cervical provocado por un estrechamiento del agujero de conjunción dando lugar a síntomas dolorosos, sensitivos y musculares a nivel radicular. Para analizar la evolución y la evidencia de la fisioterapia en el tratamiento de la RC se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática en las bases de datos Pubmed, PEDro y Scopus incluyendo ensayos clínicos controlados y aleatorizados publicados entre 1995-2015, con una puntuación mayor a 4 en la escala PEDro y publicados en Inglés o Español. Se observa una evolución en los tratamientos, en los cuales una combinación de terapia manual y ejercicios terapéuticos parecen tener los mejores resultados.

To analyze the evolution and evidence of physiotherapy in the treatment of CR a literature research was conducted in Pubmed, PEDro and Scopus database including Randomized controlled clinical trials published between 1995-2015, with a higher score of 4 on PEDro scale and published in English or Spanish. Progress has been observed in treatments, in which a combination of manual therapy and therapeutic exercises seem to have the best results.
