简要总结
Neck pain is an important public health issue that affects the whole population. Consequently, there is a significant decrease in the quality of work and life and can have a negative socioeconomic impact on both individuals and society. For the treatment of pain in the spine and extremities, especially the neck, the McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy (MMDT) is a popular choice. Mulligan mobilization approach was found to be beneficial for both pain and functioning in individuals with mechanical neck discomfort.
详细描述
Text Neck Syndrome, commonly referred to as turtle neck posture, is the fourth leading cause of disability globally. Different exercises and techniques have been implemented to manage it. Individually, there have been several studies conducted on McKenzie exercises and Mulligan mobilization. This study will provide valuable insights into the comparative effectiveness of McKenzie exercises and Mulligan mobilization for text neck syndrome. This study's findings will contribute to the development of evidence-based guidelines for managing TNS, enhancing clinical decision-making, and improving patient outcomes.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Intensity
时间窗: The pain intensity will be measured using a visual analogue scale at baseline, and change in pain intensity will be measured at 2nd week and 4th week.
The pain intensity will be measured using a visual analogue scale. The VAS is a self-reported scale that consists of anchor points for "no pain" and "worst possible pain" on a horizontal line (10 cm long). The patient is asked to mark at a single point along a 10-cm line that most accurately represent his level of pain. This line represents a continuum between the two ends of the scale, with "no pain" on the left end (0 cm) and "worst pain" on the right (10 cm).
次要结局
- Functional disability(The functional disability will be measured at baseline, and change in function level will be measured at 2nd week and 4th week.)
