简要总结
A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 72 diagnosed patients with cervical spondylosis at University of Lahore Teaching hospital. The study was completed within 9 months after the approval of synopsis. Patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria were identified by individual physiotherapist and were enrolled for particular study. Informed written consent was be taken by the patients and were randomly allocated into two groups. The total numbers of sessions were 12 (3 sessions per week). The study was single blinded. The assessor was unaware of the treatment given to both groups.
Control group received only routine physical therapy. This includes thermotherapy, trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, neck isometrics and stretching that includes 12 sessions and three times per week.
Experimental group received routine physical therapy along with breathing exercises. This includes thermotherapy, trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, neck isometrics and stretching that includes 12 sessions and three times per week.
Baseline data was collected before first treatment then after 4th, 8th and 12th session.
The outcome measures were neck pain, ROM, neck disability and quality of life and were analyzed by using SPSS 26 and then results and conclusion were drawn.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Universal Goniometer readings
时间窗: Change from pre-intervention to 4 weeks
Universal Goniometer was used to assess cervical range of motion.
Change in Neck Disability Index score
时间窗: Change from pre-intervention to 4 weeks
Neck Disability Index was used to assess neck disability. Score ranges from 0-50. 0 shows minimum disability and 50 shows maximum disability.
Change in Visual Analogue Scale score
时间窗: Change from pre-intervention to 4 weeks
Visual analogue scale was used to assess neck pain. Score ranges from 0-10. 0 shows least pain and 10 shows worst pain
次要结局
- Change in SF-36 Questionnaire score(Change from pre-intervention to 4 weeks)
