Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Study will be a Randomized clinical trial to check comparison of mckenzie exercise program versus routine physical therapy management on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic neck pain so that we can devise a treatment protocol.Total fifty subjects will be included in this study .Out of total 25 will be randomly allocated via lottery method in group 1 and 25 will be allocated in group 2. Group 1 will receive mckenzie exercise program and routine physical therapy(Joint mobilization, hot pack for 15 minutes and home exercise program) while Group 2 will receive only routine physical therapy (Joint mobilization , hot pack for 15 min and home exercise program). All patients will be treated for 12 sessions, two sessions per week for 6 weeks. Neck pain and disability index consist of two parts, part one which assesses pain severity and part two which assesses functional disability. Study setting will be services hospital.

Clinical Trial Description

Neck pain is a key public health issue that affects the human beings with reduction productivity and quality of life and produced significant socioeconomic burden on society.The purpose of this study to determine the effectiveness of Mckenzie exercise program and routine physical therapy management on pain range of motion and function in patient with chronic mechanical neck pain. Patients of both gender, neck pain for at least 3 months and age 25-55 years will be included. Patients having history of trauma, vertebral fracture, congenital disorder, ankylosing spondylitis, tumour, pott's disease and any bony or soft tissue systematic disease will be excluded. The main objective of this study is to evaluate pain level and effect of Mackenzie protocol for individuals suffering from chronic neck pain. The tools used will be Neck disability index score (NDI), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Goniometer for outcome measure pain, range of motion and function. Study will be conducted into 2 groups, each group will have 12 patients and comparisons of two groups will be evaluated. One group will receive Mckenzie exercise program and Routine physical therapy (Joint Mobilization, Hot pack and home exercise program) for 12 weeks and 2 days a week for 40 min each session and other group will receive Routine physical therapy (Joint mobilization, Hot pack and home exercise plan) for 12 weeks and 2 days a week for 30 min each session. Assessment will be done at 0 weeks, 4 week, 8 week and 12 week.Both groups received hot packs for 15 minutes for warming up. ;
