简要总结
The study is aimed at finding the effectiveness of a developing modality named Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Chronic Non Specific Neck Pain patients. This treatment will be given with an addition of neck exercises and compared to a control group where sham tDCS with exercises will be administered. A total of 20 sessions will be given for both the groups and Pre-Post data on Pain intensity, neck disability, cervical muscle endurance will be taken.
