Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation with exercises on pain, function and forward head posture in chronic non specific neck pain: A randomised sham controlled trail.

Thirty to fifty percent of people suffer from chronic non-specific neck pain, which is frequently brought on by aspects of modern living including persistent poor posture, especially forward head posture. Disability, a lower quality of life, and trouble with day-to-day functioning are the results of this disorder. Despite being widely used, traditional treatments—such as different strengthening and therapy modalities—frequently have variable results. Through the central pain gate mechanism, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a new physiotherapy technique, may lessen pain by promoting neuroplasticity and modifying pain perception.There is little and conflicting data about the effectiveness of tDCS for general neck pain, despite early research suggesting it may help with ailments like fibromyalgia, cervicogenic headaches, and low back pain. Therefore, more study is required to examine how tDCS and exercise therapy work together to provide long-lasting pain relief and functional improvement for those with persistent, non-specific neck pain.

60 participants with non specific neck pain will be selected randomly and will be divided into 2 groups(interventional group, sham group). Treatment will be given for 4 weeks,5 days a weeks and outcome measures will be compared pre and post the intervention.
