Overview
Brief Summary
This study was conducted to see the effect of proprioceptive exercises on pain and function in Non-specific chronic neck pain.
Twenty participants with chronic Non-specific neck pain were enrolled in this study. During the final week of treatment, 14 patients were assessed at the end of the sixth treatment week. Participants were randomized into two groups treatment group and control group. Both groups were treated with conventional treatment which were strengthening exercises. Treatment group was also treated by proprioception exercises. For measurement of pain and disability NPRS and NDI scales were used. Exercise regime distributed in six weeks period one session per week exercise, 10-12 repetitions with 1-minute rest interval, lasted 45 minutes in both groups. pre-treatment and post-treatment measurements were taken.
