Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of upper trapezius stretching exercises on pain intensity, neck range of motion, and disability in patients with cervical spondylosis. Patients with diagnosed cervical spondylosis will be randomly assigned to either a study group performing upper trapezius stretches or a control group. Both groups will receive heat treatment and strengthening exercises. The study group will additionally perform specific upper trapezius stretching exercises. Outcomes measures will be assessed before and after 4 weeks of intervention and will include neck pain intensity, range of motion, and disability using the Neck Disability Index. The study hypothesizes that the study group will demonstrate greater improvements in pain, range of motion, and disability compared to the control group. The study findings could provide data to guide physical therapy management of cervical spondylosis.
