简要总结
Neck pain is second largest cause of disability worldwide. Chronic neck pain prevalence is 14% which is somewhat higher in females as compared to males. In India reported prevalence is 6%. Therapeutically, neck pain is managed by physiotherapists using rest, stretching and strengthening exercises, educating patient, and intense proprioception and positional exercises.
详细描述
To determine the evidences for the efficacy of SNAGs in the Management of Mechanical Neck Pain.
100 patients [Age group 25-45 yrs] who were diagnosed with neck pain, with onset ˃1-3 months (chronic) were randomly assigned to group A receiving conventional Physiotherapy plus SNAGs and group B receiving conventional Physiotherapy plus ultrasound.
Subjects in-group A that received conventional Physiotherapy plus SNAGs showed greater Improvement in pain and range of motion compared with the conventional Physiotherapy plus ultrasound group on 2nd week compared with pretreatment.
The result of study suggests that both SNAGs and Ultrasound groups improves the symptoms of neck pain. Ultrasound group improved the pain symptoms but was too small to reach satisfactory outcome for patients. Based on these results conventional Physiotherapy plus SNAGs should be the treatment of choice for neck pain rather than conventional Physiotherapy plus Ultrasound .

结局指标
主要结局
Visual analog scale
时间窗: 2 weeks
Visual analog scale is a subjective outcome measurement where patients judge the intensity of their pain on a scale of 0-10, which is in the form of a 10cm straight line. On this 0-10 scale, zero denotes no pain and ten denotes severe pain intensity.
Neck Range of motion
时间窗: 2 weeks
Range of motion of the cervical spine measured by bubble inclinometer. It consists of a 360-degree scale with a fluid filled circular tube containing a small air bubble. It is a gravity dependent Goniometer, which uses the gravity's effect on fluid level to measure joint position and motion.
