Brief Summary

Summary of Protocol

Nonspecific Neck pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions resulting in physical impairments and functional limitations. It is assumed to be a multifactorial disease. There may be dysfunction of body structure along with psychological and environmental factors that might influence the physical performance of an individual. The overall prevalence of neck pain in the general population ranges between 0.4% and 86.8% (mean: 23.1%); and 1 year prevalence ranges from 4.8% to 79.5% (mean: 25.8%). Prevalence is generally higher in women, higher in high-income countries compared with low- and middle-income countries, and higher in urban areas compared with rural areas.

Our study will be conducted by recruiting people with non-specific neck pain. Study group, which consists of 87 subjects between 18-45 years of age with non-specific neck pain. The subjects will be asses for musculoskeletal dysfunction which includes posture, balance, muscle endurance test, and proprioception. The subject’s perception towards pain and disability will be assessed by pain on NRS and through the self-reported questionnaires, for example, Neck disability index, Patient-Specific functional scale, and self– efficacy scale. Along with the above-mentioned evaluation, the subjects will be asses on the basis of the physical performance also.

The study aims to find a relationship between musculoskeletal dysfunction of the cervical spine and the patient’s perception toward pain and disability and its effect on physical performance.
