Effects Of Deep Neck Flexor And Extensor Exercises

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Deep cervical flexor and extensor muscles show decreased strength in patients with Mechanical neck pain. Exercises involving deep cervical muscles has improved coordination and motor control. This study aim to determine the effects of deep flexor muscle exercises along with deep extensor muscle exercises on pain, range of motion and muscle strength in mechanical neck pain.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will be a randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in Riphah Rehabilitation Clinic Lahore and Physiotherapy outpatient department of WAPDA Teaching Hospital Lahore. Non-probability consecutive sampling will be used to collect the data. Sample size of 36 subjects with age group between 18-40 years will be taken. Data will be collected from the patients having present complaint of Mechanical Neck pain. Outcome measures will be taken using Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) for pain, Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) for muscle strength and Universal Goniometer (GU) for Range of motion. An informed consent will be taken. Subjects will be selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be equally divided into two groups by random number generator table. Both the Groups will receive Hot Pack, superficial neck muscles stretching and Neck isometrics, while Group A will receive deep neck flexor and extensor exercises, and Group B will receive conventional treatment. Outcome measures will be measured at baseline and after 4 weeks. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25. ;
