TITLE: Assessing the effectiveness of Pain Neuroscience Education ( PNE ) on pain, range of motion, muscle strength and functional ability in cervical spondylosis - An Experimental Study
This study investigated the comparative effectiveness of Pain neuroscience education along with Muscle energy techniques and electrotherapy versus only Muscle energy techniques ( MET) and electrotherapy ( ET ) among cervical spondylosis subjects.
The study involved 36 cervical spondylosis subjects aged 40-60 years both male and female. The participants were divided into two groups: one received Pain neuroscience education along with muscle energy techniques and electrotherapy, the other group received only Muscle energy techniques and electrotherapy. Electrotherapy included transcutaneous electrical stimulation.
Outcome measured were Pain ( Pain Catastrophizing Scale , Revised neurophysiology of pain questionnaire ), Range of motion ( Inclinometer ), Muscle strength ( Dynamometer ), Functional ability ( Neck disability Index ). The intervention lasted 6 weeks, with assessments at baseline, post treatment 6 weeks and 8 weeks.
The study rationale highlighted PNE along with MET and ET benefit in providing pain relief and increasing range of motion, muscle strength and functional ability beyond what muscle energy techniques and electrotherapy alone offer.
