详细描述
The objective of the study is to determine the Comparative effects of theragun and dry needling on neck pain, range of motion and disability among heavy weightlifters. The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive Theragun technique. Group B will receive Dry Needling technique. Neck Disability index (NDI), Universal Goniometer, Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) will be used to assess at the baseline and after the completion of treatment at 6 weeks.
The data will be analyzed by SPSS, version 25. Statistical significance is P=0.05.

研究组 & 干预措施
Theragun Technique
Theragun is a handheld percussive therapy device that can be used for massage and muscle relaxation. Use the Theragun for a designated duration per session, such as 5-10 minutes for 6 weeks
干预措施: Theragun Technique (Other)
Dry Needling Technique
Dry needling is a technique in which a fine needle is used to penetrate the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and muscle without the use of an anesthetic. Hold each stretch for an adequate duration (typically 15-30 seconds) to allow for muscle relaxation
干预措施: Dry Needling Technique (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Disability
时间窗: pre and 6 weeks post interventional
The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is commonly used for clinical and research assessment for chronic neck pain
Range of Motion
时间窗: pre and 6 weeks post interventional
A goniometer is an instrument that measures the available range of motion at a joint
Neck Pain
时间窗: pre and 6 weeks post interventional
Patient level of pain will be assessed using this Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
