Clinical Trial Summary

Mechanical neck pain is defined as pain and discomfort localized between the superior nuchal line, cervical spine, and the spinous process of the first thoracic vertebra. Some of the most typical factors include continuous use of mobile phones and computers, working in sedentary jobs, etc. Study aimed to compare diaphragm manual therapy and Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with mechanical neck pain.


Clinical Trial Description

This project will be a Randomized Clinical Trial conducted to check the effects of Diaphragm manual therapy versus sustained natural apophyseal glide on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with mechanical neck pain at Sehat Medical Complex Lahore through non-probability convenient sampling technique on 34 patients will be allocated using simple random sampling through Computer generated Randomization into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with Diaphragm Manual Therapy and baseline treatment was given and Group B with Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide and baseline treatment was given. All Exercise were performed 3 times a week for total 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be conducted through NPRS for pain, ROM measured by Goniometer, and Neck Disability Index (NDI) for Disability after 4 weeks. Data was analyzed during SPSS software version 25. After assessing the normality of data by the Shapiro-Wilk test, it decided whether either parametric or non-parametric tests were used within a group or between two groups. ;
