Mechanical neck pain is posteriorly occurring non-specific pain that originates from the superior nuchal line and extends to the first thoracic vertebrae. It is exacerbated by sustained neck postures, neck movements or cervical muscle palpation. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of scapular stabilization versus thoracic spine extension exercises on pain, disability and range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) | The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) (an outcome measure) that is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults, including those with chronic pain. The NPRS is a segmented numeric version in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable"). The NPRS takes <1 minute to complete The NPRS is a valid and reliable scale to measure pain intensity; High test-retest reliability has been (r = 0.96 and 0.95, respectively) For construct validity, the NPRS was shown to be highly correlated: correlations range from 0.86 to 0.95. |

Primary | Neck Disability index (NDI) | This questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life. Every section is marked in each section only the one box that applies to you. We realise you may consider that two or more statements in any one section relate to you, but please just mark the box that most closely describes your problem. Intended population includes: Chronic neck or upper back pain and musculoskeletal neck pain. Scoring: For each section the total possible score is 5: if the first statement is marked the section score = 0, if the last statement is marked it = 5. If all ten sections are completed the score is calculated. |

Primary | Range of Motion | A goniometer is an instrument that measures the available range of motion at a joint. To measure the range of motion physical therapists most commonly use a goniometer. It is necessary that a single notation system is used in goniometry. The neutral zero method (0 to 180- degree system) is the most widely used method. The same goniometer should always be used to reduce the chances of instrumental error. | follow up at 6th week |
