简要总结
As Non specific chronic neck pain is effecting quality of life in many ways, there are many studies evaluating the methods to treat that problem. This study aims to determine Effect of first rib mobilization with balloon breathing exercises in non specific chronic neck pain. Patients would be divided into two groups and both received conventional treatment. Group A got conventional treatment only but Group B got 1st rib mobilization with balloon breathing exercises in addition.
详细描述
Nonspecific chronic neck pain (NSCNP) is defined as neck pain persisting for longer than 12 weeks or after the healing period or recurring neck pain that intermittently affects an individual over a long time. Due to current life style, 22 to 70% of the population is expected to feel neck pain somewhere in their lives.
People with non-specific chronic neck pain (NSCNP) present with local hyperalgesia, impaired conditioned pain modulation, low quality of life, and psychological disruptions (fear of movement, depressive symptoms, pain catastrophizing) A systematic review and meta-analysis on Respiratory dysfunction in patients with chronic neck pain reports that, patients with Chronic Neck Pain have reduced respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function compared with asymptomatic individuals, and this difference could be clinically meaningful.
As previous studies provides evidence about effect of MWM on non specific chronic neck pain and also states relation of breathing dysfunction in NSCNP so we aim to determine effect of first rib mobilization with balloon breathing exercise in addition to conventional treatment in non specific chronic neck pain.
Patients would be divided into two groups and both received conventional treatment. Group A got conventional treatment only but Group B got 1st rib mobilization with balloon breathing exercises in addition.

研究组 & 干预措施
Conventional treatment group
Hot pack and TENS at neck for 10minutes. Therapeutic ultrasound for 5 minutes Soft tissue techniques (gliding and kneading) was applied at a slow speed for 5 minutes over the neck muscles.
Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises
First rib mobilization with balloon breathing exercises group
Patient was in supine position, placing the soles of his feet against the wall so that the ankle, knee, and thigh joints are at a 90-degree angle. The subject placed a 3-4-inch ball between his/her knees, which he/she has to maintain through the pressure of the internal thigh muscles during the whole training period and puts his/her back on the bed. Holds the right hand above the head and the left hand with the balloon. Meanwhile examiner palpated 1st rib with head in left side flexion. Patient was then asked to inhale through the nose in three-four seconds and then exhales slowly into the balloon. Then, holding the first rib in place, the patient was asked to inhale and exhale deeply again. The examiner continued applying pressure to hold the first rib in a position of relative depression during inhalation, and further depress the first rib as able during exhalation.

结局指标
主要结局
Chest Wall Expansion (change is being assessed)
时间窗: Change from Baseline measures at 8 weeks
Take an inches tape and encircle chest around the level of nipple. Take measurements at the end of deep inspiration and expiration. Normally, a 2-5" of chest expansion can be observed
Neck Disability Index (change is being assessed)
时间窗: Change from Baseline measures at 8 weeks
Patient-completed, condition-specific functional status questionnaire with 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. 0-4points (0-8%) no disability, 5-14points ( 10 - 28%) mild disability, 15-24points (30-48% ) moderate disability, 25-34points (50- 64%) severe disability, 35-50points (70-100%) complete disability
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (change is being assessed)
时间窗: Change from Baseline measures at 8 weeks
The NPRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable"
Single Breath Count (change is being assessed)
时间窗: Change from Baseline measures at 8 weeks
Participants will be requested to count out loud after maximal inspiration. The ability to reach a count of 50 is considered as normal respiratory function
