Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this [type of study: Randomized control trial] is to [ compare the effectiveness of Mulligan and McKenzie Exercises along with stabilization exercises on pain, range of motion and disability ] in [ in patients with chronic neck pain].The main question it aims to answer is:
- Wether Mulligan is more effective or Mckenzie exercises along with stabilization exercises in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain Group 1 will recieve Mulligan and stabilization exercises Group 2 will recieve Mckenzie and stabilization exercises
Detailed Description
Chronic neck pain is a prevalent and multifaceted condition, affecting a substantial portion of the general population (16.7% to 75.1%). Different techniques have been used to treat chronic neck pain. In this study, I will be comparing two manual therapy techniques along with stabilization exercises and will check which manual technique with stabilization exercise is more effective in the treatment of chronic neck pain. One of the techniques is Mulligan technique. The other one is the self-treatment approach of the McKenzie technique, . Additionally, cervical stabilization exercises, incorporating progressive stages, aim to enhance neuromuscular control.
The research involves two intervention groups (Group A and Group B) receiving specific treatments over 32 sessions within an eight-week period. Group A incorporates the Mulligan technique, cervical and scapulothoracic stabilization exercises, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with a heating pad. Group B undergoes hot packs and TENS, followed by McKenzie exercises and cervical and scapulothoracic stabilization exercises. Outcomes, encompassing pain levels, range of motion (ROM), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores, will be evaluated using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Goniometer, and Neck Disability Scale. Data analysis will employ SPSS version 26. Data will be collected at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at follow-up intervals.

Arms & Interventions
MCKENZIE AND STABILIZATION EXERCISES
In this group, 11 participants will be included. the interventions will be given for 15 mint. The exercises then repeated five or six times in a Session. the session will be of 45 mins, 3 session per week
Intervention: MCKENZIE AND STABILIZATION EXERCISES (Procedure)
MULLIGAN AND STABILIZATION EXERCISES
In this group, 11 participants will be included. the interventions will be given for 15 mint. The exercises then repeated five or six times in a Session. the session will be of 45 mins, 3 session per week for 10 weeks
Intervention: MULLIGAN AND STABILIZATION EXERCISES (Procedure)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Neck Disability Index (NDI)
Time Frame: 4 WEEKS
The NDI consists of ten questions. Each question has six different assertions expressing progressive levels of pain or limitation in activities. Item scores range from 0 (no pain or limitation) to 5 (as much pain as possible or maximal limitation). The total NDI score ranges from 0 to 5 points. Higher scores indicate greater disability.
Goniometer
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Active Range of Motion of the patient will be assessed using a universal standard goniometer for cervical flexion, extension, side flexion (left and right), rotation (left and right). The data will be collected at baseline cervical goniometry.
Numeric pain rating scale
Time Frame: 4weeks
NPRS consists of a scale with 0-10 readings. The zero denotes no pain while 1, 2, 3 denotes to mild pain, 4, 5, 6 denotes to moderate pain while 7-10 denotes to severe pain.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
