Conservative management of cervical radiculopathy (CR) is a first treatment option as the risk-benefit ratio for surgery is less favorable. Systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines reporting on the effectiveness of nonsurgical management have not considered the timing of management. The aim of this study was to establish consensus on effective nonsurgical treatment modalities at different stages (ie, acute, subacute or chronic) of CR, using the Delphi method approach.
