Background: Lumbar radiculopathy, is a symptom of radiating pain in the lumbar nerve root distribution that may also include sensory and motor dysfunction. The most common causes of nerve root compression are intervertebral disc herniation and degenerative alterations Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of McKenzie approach and core stabilization exercise in Lumbar radiculopathy by reducing pain and improving the functional activity Materials and Methods: Total of 64 subjects will be selected by a convenient sampling method based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was fully described to the participants, and their signed agreement was acquired. Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) was used to analyse the pain, and related disability. Results: With a p value of 0.0001, the mean of the core stabilization at the post test was shown to be greater than the mean of McKenzie Exercise. Conclusion: This study concluded that Neural mobilisation was found to be more effective than McKenzie in decreasing pain and functional ability for peoples with lumbar radiculopathy [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
