简要总结
Background and Objective
Mechanical neck pain refers to the pain in the cervical region that occurs without trauma, symptoms of structural pathology, or neurological symptomatology, but instead is caused by poor posture, anxiety, depression, neck strain, and activities such as sports or occupations. Neck pain has been a major public health burden and a common musculoskeletal disorder for many years. Existing treatment protocols primarily rely on conventional physiotherapy; however, in clinical practice, experts frequently mention the efficacy of Function Induced Biomechanical Correction Therapy for spinal pain, particularly for mechanical neck pain. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Function Induced Biomechanical Correction Therapy in reducing pain and improving function in patient with mechanical neck pain.
Methodology
This double-blinded two-arm randomized controlled trial will be conducted by enrolling patients aged 18–50 years with diagnosed mechanical neck pain. Participants will be recruited from the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST), Jashore, Bangladesh, BRB Hoispitals Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh, SP Hospitals Ltd., Dhaka Bangladesh and DPRC Hospitals Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh and randomly assigned to two groups in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Function Induced Biomechanical Correction Therapy along with conventional physiotherapy or conventional physiotherapy only like exercise therapy and electrotherapy. Both groups will receive 12 sessions, each lasting 30–40 minutes, twice a week for 6 weeks. Primary outcomes include subjective pain severity, measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and pain sensitivity assessed by Pressure Pain Threshold. Secondary outcomes, such as Range of Motion and functional ability, will be evaluated using a digital inclinometer, the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS).
