This project was a Randomized control trial conducted to check the effects of Cervical Stabilization Exercises on Respiratory Strength in Chronic Neck Pain Patients with Forward Head Posture, duration of study was of 6 months, convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from Jinnah Hospital Lahore, were randomly allocated in two groups via lottery method, baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given baseline treatment protocol for 4 weeks which included 3 sessions per week. Heating Pad applied for 15 min and TENS (Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation) for 10 min. After that Cervical isometric exercises performed in sitting (10sec hold, 10 to 15 reps). Group B was experimental group and participants were given baseline treatment in addition to Cervical Stabilization exercises for 4 weeks which included 3 sessions per week. The baseline measurement was taken on day one for Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRPS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI). Forward head posture assessed by measuring Cranio Vertebral Angle (CVA). Respiratory muscle strengths measured by Spirometer and SBC (single breath count). All the measurements repeated at the end of fourth week. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Spirometer | A spirometer is an apparatus for measuring the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs. A spirometer measures ventilation, the movement of air into and out of the lungs. The spirogram will identify two different types of abnormal ventilation patterns, obstructive and restrictive | 4th Week | |
Other | Single Breath Count( SBC) | To perform, ask patient to count out loud after maximal inspiration. Ability to reach 50 indicates normal respiratory function. Single breath count of less than 15 typically correlates with low forced vital capacity (FVC) and respiratory muscle weakness | 4th Week | |
Primary | Numeric Pain rating scale | The NPRS is the segmented numeric version of visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. Similar to VAS, the NPRS is anchored by terms describing pain severity extremes. | 4th week | |
Secondary | Neck disability Index | Methods of assessment for such disability, especially those targeted at activities of daily living which are most affected by neck pain, questionnaire 10-item scaled entitled the Neck Disability Index (NDI) | 4th Week |
