There are many causes for low back ache. One of these causes is lumbosacral radiculopathy.Here the pain is usually a low back ache which is radiating in the distribution of the corresponding root.The sensory symptoms will be in a dermatomal distribution and the motor weakness will be in a myotomaldistribution. The main electrophysiological parameters which can be used are tibial H reflex , tibial andperoneal F waves and EMG. The treatment options are conservative management with drugs and exercise,invasive procedures like epidural steroid injection and surgical interventions.Objectives: To find out the percentage of people with lumbosacral radiculopathy getting improvementin their pain symptom , disability status and electrophysiological parameters with the conservativemanagement in a follow up period of 6 months.Material and Methods: Study design: It is a prospective experimental (interventional) study with pre/postdesignStudy population: Patients with age between 18yrs and 80 years with radicular pain from the lower backin the lumbosacral distributionSample size: 76Sampling procedure: Random sampling of patients fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteriaStudy procedure: Direct examination, history with nerve conduction and EMG studies and questionnairewith follow up at the end of 3and 6 monthsAnalysis: Data analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS software V 25. Disability score, compoundmuscle action potential score and f waves were assessed and compared using paired t test. A p value was taken as the threshold for statistical significance.Results: Considering the pain, 78.9% of the patients got improvement at the end of 3 months and 65.8%of the patients got improvement at the end of 6 months, with the conservative management. Consideringthe disability, 100% of the patients got improvement at the end of 3 months and 98.7% of the patients gotimprovement at the end of 6 months. The proportion of the patients who got improvement
