简要总结
Approval is obtained from Institutional Ethics Committee. Participants fitting the inclusion criteria will be recruited and a written informed consent will be obtained in the language best understood by them. Participants will be randomly allocated by SNOSE (sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelope) technique using computer generated numbers into two groups: Group A(study group)- Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and Stretching, Group B (control group)- Ischemic Compression Technique and Stretching. Explanation to the treatment, Baseline information in case record form and Pre-treatment assessment will be done for pain, pressure pain threshold (mean of 3 readings) and range of motion for cervical side flexion to opposite side. Single session will be given. Immediate treatment, assessment will be done using numerical pain rating scale, pressure algometer and goniometer. Statistical analysis will be done by paired t test for intragroup analysis and unpaired t test for intergroup analysis.
