简要总结
The goal of this randomize control trial is to compare two interventions to treat text neck syndrome on administrative staff. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- There is no significant difference in outcomes between instrumental assisted mobilizations vs. isometric strengthening exercises for treating text neck syndrome in office workers
- There is significant difference in outcomes between instrumental assisted mobilizations vs. isometric strengthening exercises for treating text neck syndrome in office workers.
It will compare two intervention and which work better on treating text neck syndrome.
Interventions will be applied for consecutive 4 weeks and 3 session for one week
详细描述
In this modern era, people are using smartphone, tablets, computers and other digital devices for almost 5 to 8 hours a day. This has led to noticeable musculoskeletal disorders. Text neck syndrome has increasingly prevalent across all age groups, among students, office worker, administrative workers and people with more screen time. Repetitive stress injury and posture strain leads to neck pain, stiffness, headache, shoulder tension and decrease ROM. It determines the effectiveness of instrumental assisted soft tissue mobilization vs. conventional treatment for pain, range of motion and functional mobility on administrative staff for text neck syndrome.
This study is designed as a randomized control trial involving 48 participant with text neck syndrome to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of interventions. Participants will be diagnose by consultant neurologist at DHQ sheikhupura. It will be an Assessor Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial following CONSORT Statement Guidelines. The study will be conducted for 4 weeks and 3 session per week, with data collection at baseline pre intervention and post intervention. Participants will be randomly assigned to a control and experimental group. Control group having isometric strengthening and experimental group will receive isometric strengthening followed by instrumental assisted soft tissue mobilization.
The result will help to identify evidence based treatment approach that can be clinically used

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at four weeks.
It is simple, reliable and valid scale to measure pain intensity scale as simply asked the patient to rate their pain intensity on scale from 0-10. As 0 =no pain and 10=worst pain.The primary expected outcomes for this study will be to measure pain by using Numeric pain rating scale.
Goniometer
时间窗: From enrollment to treatment at four weeks.
It is non-invasive measuring tool used in clinic to measure active cervical range of motion in all direction. For Cervical flexion and extension participants will sit on chair in upright position and foot flat on floor. Fulcrum will be placed on ear canal. Stationary arm of goniometer will be align perpendicular to the floor and moving arm with the base of nares.. For lateral flexion fulcrum will be placed on spinous process of C7, stationary arm will align in the spine and moving arm aligned with head midline, reference to occipital protuberance. The patient will be asked to bend head towards shoulder without rotation. Fulcrum will be over centre of cranial aspect of head .stationary arm will align with acromial process and moving arm with the tip of nose, than participant will be instructed to rotate head to each side as far as possible. Data will be recorded in degrees .
Neck Disability Index Scale
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at four week.
NDI is condition specific questionnaire compromising of 10 items to assess pain and functional status which is mostly used for reporting neck pain. NDI is reliable and valid questionnaire. Patient score above 5-24 were included. This questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life.
