Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Functional Disability. Timepoint: Total intervention protocol will be given for three weeks of duration, 3 sessions per week for three weeks, Outcomes will be assessed at Baseline, at the end of 3 week( last treatment session) and at the end of 6th week. Method of measurement: NDI is the self-report questionnaire that is designed to determine how the neck pain affects a patient’s daily life and the disability of patients with neck pain. It consists of 10 questions that ask about ADLS. More the score, greater was the disability. Sample questionnaire is attached at the end. Four sections relate to subjective symptoms, and the remaining 6 sections relate to activities of daily living. Each section is scored from 0 to 5 points, giving a maximum score of 50. The total score of the NDI ranges from 0 to 50 points.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain. Timepoint: Total intervention protocol will be given for three weeks of duration, 3 sessions per week for three weeks, Outcomes will be assessed at Baseline, at the end of 3 week (last treatment session) and at the end of 6th week. Method of measurement: Patient level of pain will be assessed using Numerical Pain Rating Scale ( NPRS) This scale ranges from 0 to 10. 0 indicates no pain” and 10 indicates worst pain”.;Range of Motion. Timepoint: Total intervention protocol will be given for three weeks of duration, 3 sessions per week for three weeks, Outcomes will be assessed at Baseline, at the end of 3 week (last treatment session) and at the end of 6th week. Method of measurement: Changes from the Baseline ROM range of Motion of Cervical spine will be taken with the Help of universal Goniometer.
