The study will be focused on non- specific chronic neck pain patients. The primary objective is to study the effects of jaw sensorimotor system in the treatment of patients with neck pain and dysfunction. It will be randomized controlled trail with the estimated sample size of 80 with both genders. The experimental group will be performed Jaw opening-closing movements with active neck flexion and extension movements and control group will be performed active neck flexion and extension movements. Both groups will be received isometric strengthening exercises, Postural Advice and Home Exercise Program with Dairy. Numeric Pain Rating scale (NPRS), Neck disability Index (NDI), Neck Proprioception tests and Neck muscles endurance test will be used as outcome measures at day 0 and week 6 for treatment effect in both groups. Tables and graphs will used for demographic descriptions and appropriate statistical tests will be applied to establish treatment effect within and between groups.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Numeric Pain Rating scale (NPRS) | Assessing the change in pain level:
The subject will be graphically or verbally portrayed a simple depiction consisting of a horizontal bar with labels ranging from '0' to '10' (a total of 11 integers)to rate his pain intensity.'0' would be considered as 'no pain'and '10' would indicate worst pain imaginable, whereas values 1 to 3 would indicate mild pain; 4 to 6 as moderate pain and 7 to 10 would indicate severe pain. NPRS has shown to have good sensitivity and it yields data that are best suited for statistical analysis. |

Primary | Neck disability Index (NDI) | Assessing the change in neck disability level:
The Neck Disability Scale is a reliable outcome measure to assess the treatment effectiveness for neck disability. It consists of 10 components. |
Week 6 | |
Primary | Neck Proprioception test | Assessing the change in neck preconception error:
The concept adopted from Hallgren and co workers and it will be used as research instrument on baseline and final visits to find out any proprioceptive errors. A Neutral Reference Point (NRP) will be used and asking patient to perform cervical spine range of motion (rotation, flexion and extension). Then measures any overshoot or undershoot of movement with regard to NRP/Starting position using a cervical spine range of motion device. |
Week 6 | |
Primary | Neck muscles endurance test | Assessing the change in neck muscle endurance level:
Neck flexor muscle endurance test will be used to measure neck endurance in this study. It is a simple test and easy to apply. It is reliable test and achieved interrater reliability at moderate level among neck pain population. Cervical extensor endurance test is a simple test for measurement neck extensor muscles endurance. It has good inter-rater reliability Kappa =0.800, Kappa SE= 0.109, 95% CL) and easy to administer. Losing of chin tuck position from neutral position of cervical spine is indicating of global weakness of neck muscles (weakness of superficial and deep neck extensor muscles) whist increasing of chin length with neck extension indicates a over activity of superficial extensor muscles and weakness of deep extensor muscles of cervical spine. |
