Clinical Trial Summary

1. To compare the effectiveness of neck stabilization training program with conventional physical therapy in management of neck pain and disability in individuals with text neck syndrome. 2. To compare the effectiveness of neck stabilization training program with conventional physical therapy in improving muscle strength and range of motion of cervical spine in individuals with text neck syndrome.


Clinical Trial Description

The text neck syndrome was described as a compilation of signs and symptoms due to the repetitive load, stress and pain in the body regions including; neck, shoulder joints, shoulder muscles, and thoracic region initiated by the excessive usage of smartphones for the prolonged time. The text neck syndrome is also called as 'Turtle neck neck syndrome' or 'anterior head syndrome. Neck flexion in forward direction for using any smart phone could directly affects the cervical and upper thoracic spine. It is stated that increased tilt of the head forward to fifteen degrees exaggerate about 13 Kgs of mechanical force on the cervical spine. Likewise it progresses to 18 Kgs at 30 degrees, 23 Kgs at 45 degrees and 28 Kgs at 60 degrees of forward neck flexion. The pathological consequences caused by incase of not managing the text neck could be alike to occupational overuse disease or repetitive stress and strain pathology. ;
