简要总结
The purpose of the study is to compare the muscle energy technique, facet joint mobilization and conventional physical therapy in individuals with chronic neck pain on cervical lordosis, cervical range of motions, numeric pain rating scale and NDI. A randomized control trial was conducted at physiotherapy department of HIT hospital, Taxila Cantt. The sample size was 105 calculated through open-epi tool. The participants were divided into three interventional groups, experimental group (1), experimental group (2), and control group (3) each having 35 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was Purposive sampling for recruitment and group randomization using sealed envelope method. Only 35 to 50 years participants with 4-8 pain intensity on NPRS in cervical region were included in the study. Goniometer, Posterior tangent method on lateral radiographs for cervical curve and Self structured Questionnaire. Data was collected at baseline then 2 and 4 weeks after the application of interventions. Data analyzed through SPSS version 21.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental Group (1): Muscle energy techniques,Moist Hot pack and TENS.
Experimental group included Moist Hot pack of 14/15' over cervical region for 15 mins. Hydro collator Temperature according to standardized hot pack is 40-45C.Conventional TENS applied for 10 mins.
Baseline NPRS, NDI, Cervical ROMs, and posterior tangent angle.These pre and post intervention values were mentioned in questionnaire. The participants were administered with muscle energy technique (PIR) and data was collected again 2 and 4 weeks after the interventions.
干预措施: Muscle energy Technique (Other)
Experimental Group (2): Facets joint mobilizations, Moist Hot pack and TENS.
Experimental group includedMoist Hot pack of 14/15' over cervical region for 15 mins. Hydro collator Temperature according to standardized hot pack is 40-45οC.Conventional TENS applied for 10 mins.
Baseline NPRS, NDI, Cervical ROMs, and posterior tangent angle. These pre and post intervention values were mentioned in questionnaire. The participants were administered with Facet joint mobilization (UPA & SNAGS) and data was collected again 2 and 4 weeks after the interventions.
干预措施: Muscle energy Technique (Other)
Control Group:Conventional Therapy (Stretching, strengthening , Moist Hot pack and TENS)
Control group includedMoist Hot pack of 14/15' over cervical region for 15 mins. Hydro collator Temperature according to standardized hot pack is 40-45οC.Conventional TENS applied for 10 mins.
Baseline NPRS, NDI, Cervical ROMs, and posterior tangent angle. These pre and post intervention values were mentioned in questionnaire. The participants were administered with Conventional (sustained stretching and isometric strengthening) physical therapy and data was collected again 2 and 4 weeks after the interventions.

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric pain rating scale
时间窗: 4 week
Will utilize for measurement of neck pain intensity.Minimum pain score is labeled as "zero" and maximum pain score is labeled as "10".At baseline, 2 and 4 weeks after baseline.
Cervical Lordosis Measurement (posterior tangent method)
时间窗: 4 week
measure cervical lordosis by drawing tangent line along posterior border of C2 to C7 vertebra and measuring posterior tangent angle on lateral radio graph of cervical spine.At baseline and 4 weeks after baseline
次要结局
- Cervical goniometry:(4 week)
- Neck disability index:(4 week)
