Effects of Sahrmann's Approach on Pain, Range of Motion, Craniovertebral Angle and Function in Patients With Cervical Extension Syndrome

This randomized controlled trial will investigate the effects of Sahrmann's corrective exercises on pain, range of motion, craniovertebral angle, thoracic curve and function in individuals with CFS. Total sample size 54 is calculated by GPower and participants aged 20-40 years will be recruited from Femwell Physio Clinic, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and University of Lahore Teaching Hospital Lahore using non- probability consecutive sampling. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either Group A (conventional physiotherapy) or Group B (Sahrmann's approach) through sealed opaque envelopes. Group A will follow a standard treatment, while Group B will perform Sahrmann's corrective exercises for cervical extension syndrome. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, Universal Goniometer (UG) for craniovertebral angle, Inclinometer for thoracic kyphosis and cervical range of motion and Neck Disability Index (NDI) for function will be assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS v25 to determine the comparative effects of both interventions.
