Phase 1

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Acquired deformity of neck,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2025/06/089823
• Lead Sponsor: Nitte Deemed to be University

Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of multimodal physiotherapy compared to traditional physiotherapy in patients with neck pain. The study aims to assess and compare improvements in pain intensity, joint position sense, and gait parameters between the two groups. It is hypothesized that multimodal physiotherapy will be more effective in reducing pain, improving cervical proprioception, and enhancing gait than traditional physiotherapy alone.
