Comparison of immediate effect of exercise and joint mobilization in patients with neck pain

Completed

• Conditions: Patient with Mechanical Neck Pain

• Registration Number: CTRI/2017/03/007990
• Lead Sponsor: Ashwini Suresh Shelke

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness between mulligan mobilization technique and active cranio-cervical flexion exercise on pain response cervical range of motion and cranio-cervical flexion test performance in patients with mechanical neck pain. The result of the study will be useful to find out an effective treatment technique for an immediate pain relief that can be incorporated in the treatment regime.
