Completed

• Conditions: Neck Pain
• Interventions: Other: Conventional physical therapy; Other: Fascial mobilization group

• Registration Number: NCT05392465
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

This study aims to determine the effects of holistic spinal fascial mobilization on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic neck pain so that we can have the best treatment option for patients with chronic neck pain, the duration will be 10 months, purposive sampling will be done, subject following eligibility criteria from bahawal Victoria hospital Bahawalpur, were allocated in two groups, a baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given conventional treatment along with fascial mobilization, Group B participants were given conventional treatment, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Neck Disability Index(NDI) and Goniometry for a range of motion,3 sessions per week were given, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.

Detailed Description

Chronic neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders among the general population. Like a muscular spasm of the neck that can cause neck pain, fascial adhesions are also a common cause of neck pain. Fascia is a form of connective tissue that is made up of collagen, surrounds the body parts, and also resists tissue tensile load. There is huge literature regarding the management of neck pain and yet after decades of research, there are gaps in treatment options. In the modern age of health care, it is a common goal of every health care to make patients self-sufficient as early as possible. The self-care models have tremendous advantages. The current study aims to determine the effects of holistic spinal fascial mobilization on pain, range of motion, and function in patients with chronic neck pain. All treatment methods were employed to see if they improve the ranges accompanying pain and disability.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group B	Conventional physical therapy	baseline (Conventional) physical therapy treatment
Group A	Fascial mobilization group	baseline physical therapy treatment along with facial mobilization

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
NPRS	3rd day	Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. Where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain
NDI	3rd day	The NDI has become a standard instrument for measuring self-rated disability due to neck pain. Each of the 10 items scores from 0 to 5. The maximum score is 5.
Goniometric measurement of Neck ROM	3rd day	A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint.
