简要总结
purpose of the study: to determine the effectiveness of cervical mobilization with PIR in reducing pain and improving neck ROM and function in people with mechanical neck pain associated with MTrPs
详细描述
This study will be based on a randomized controlled design which will be comparative in nature. Participants will be recruited using the convenience sampling method and will be randomly divided into two groups A and B respectively. Thirty participants of mechanical neck pain associated with upper Trapezius trigger point pain will be recruited from the Physiotherapy department, at the Najran University, Saudi Arabia. Study objectives and procedure will be properly explained and written informed consent will be obtained at the beginning of the study. All the participants will be randomly assigned into two equal groups A and B.
Group A will be receiving the hot pack, active Stretching, isometric exercise intervention, and PIR technique while group B will receive the hot pack, active Stretching, isometric exercise intervention, and cervical Mobilization.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: 3 Weeks
The pain intensity was assessed Using a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Its a 11 point scale, where zero indicates no pain and 10 indicates severe pain
Neck Disability Index
时间窗: 3 Weeks
The Neck Disability was assessed using a neck disability index (NDI) questionnaire, the minimum value 0- and the maximum value is 50
Range of Motion
时间窗: 3 Weeks
The Neck Side Flexion range of motion was assessed using cervical range of motion(CROM) device
Pain Pressure Threshold
时间窗: 3 Weeks
The Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) was assessed using an algometer algometer
