Brief Summary

To compare the effects of kinesio taping, cervical thrust manipulation and conventional therapy on neck pain, functional status and range of motion

Detailed Description

Neck pain is most prevalent condition affecting globally, which also create threats to the individuals. Mechanical neck pain affects mainly two third of population at some time in life possibly in middle age, some people may be acute mechanical neck pain while some leading to chronic stage. Mechanical neck disorders usually associated with pain, decreased cervical mobility, spasm. Often neck pain is mechanical in nature, according to literature mechanical neck pain is defined as, that pain originating from cervical spine which may be aggravated with cervical motion, prolonged posture, muscular stiffness. Due to widespread occurrence of mechanical neck pain mainly in modern society, proper interventional strategies of this problem is needed to facilitate that problem. Incidence of neck pain may range from 10.4-23.3%in one year, while according to previous literature prevalence of neck pain was 0.4 to 86.8%, with high proportion in office workers, computer users, and females especially 35 to 55 years. Pain, stiffness, tenderness and restricted mobility is most common symptoms associated with neck pain, manual therapy techniques, exercises, mobilization, manipulations, kinesio taping are treatment strategies used for this problem may improve neck pain.

The main purpose of my study is to improve neck pain, discomfort and functional status in patients with mechanical neck pain.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Conventional therapy group	Conventional therapy group	.Participants of this group will receive only conventional therapy which will include: Hot pack for 10 minutes Stretching Exercises
Kinesio taping group	Kinesio taping group	Participants in this group will receive treatment through standardized therapeutic Kinesio taping along with conventional therapy. Tape will be water proof, porous, adhesive,with width of 5cm and thickness of 0.5 mm.
Cervical thrust manipulation group	Cervical thrust manipulation group	Participants in this group will receive treatment via cervical thrust manipulation along with conventional therapy. Manipulation will be directed on mid cervical spine.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cervical range of motion	6 weeks	This tool will be used to detect cervical range of motion like cervical flexion, cervical extension, cervical side bending and cervical rotation at the baseline and at the end of 6th week.; Cervical spines range of motion is 80-90 degrees of flexion, 70 degrees of extension, 20-45 degrees of lateral bending and up to 90 degrees of rotations.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Numerical pain rating scale	6 weeks	This tool will be used in order to measure the intensity of pain at the baseline and at the end of 6th week.; Maximum score on the scale is 10. Lower score means no pain and vice versa.; Interpretation of the scores are as following: 0 indicates no pain. 1-3 indicates mild pain. 4-7 indicates moderate pain. 8-10 indicates worst possible pain.
