GRASTON VERSUS MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE IN NONSPECIFIC NECK PAIN

Pain intensity (VAS) It was utilized to evaluate the degree of pain both before and after treatment. Subjects were asked to rate their pain on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain). Specifically, a line representing 10 centimeters was used as the scale's visual representation. Distance from zero to the respondent's mark was then used to approximate the sufferer's level of discomfort.

Functional Disability (NDI) The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is a 10-item questionnaire used to assess the functional impairment caused by neck pain. The questionnaire covers a wide range of topics related to one's everyday life, including but not limited to: personal care, heavy lifting, work, driving, sleeping, playing, recreational, pain level, concentration, and headache. Scores range from 0 (no disability) to 5 (severe disability) for each question, with the total score out of 100 determined by adding and doubling the scores for each question. If a patient has a high NDI score, they report being more disabled as a result of their neck pain. Patients have identified a 5-10% improvement as the "minimally clinically meaningful change." This study excluded any patient with: Symptoms or signs of upper motor neuron disease, vestibulobasilar insufficiency, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Cervical spine fracture, Cases of disc prolapse that have been diagnosed (27), prior cervical or thoracic spine surgery.
