简要总结
The superficial neck flexor musculature has been given considerate amount of attention to explore its effects on the cervical pain in several researches.. This study intends to put through the benefits of deep cervical flexor training for treatment of cervical neck pain patients.This study will also compare the effects of Cranio cervical flexion training with and without pressure biofeedback on neck pain, muscular endurance,forward head posture and cervical mobility in mechanical neck pain.
详细描述
The study is Randomized Control Trail, which is being conducted in physical therapy Outpatient department of Pakistan Railway hospital. Sample size of 24 individual was calculated using Epitool with 95% confidence interval (CI) and power 80%. Individual will be screened out according to inclusion criteria. Individuals will be allocated randomly into two groups, 12 in Craniocervical flexion training with pressure biofeedbackgroup and 12 in Craniocervical flexion training without pressure biofeedbackgroup by sealed envelope method.
Deep neck flexor endurance techniquewas used totrain theCraniocervical flexor muscles in control group.Craniocervical flexion technique with Pressure biofeedback unit's was positioned behind the neck just below the occiput was used to train the endurance of the Craniocervical flexor muscle in experimental group.
Assessment will be done on baseline and 4th week. Data will be analyzed on SPSS version 21.

结局指标
主要结局
CROM-Flexion
时间窗: Post 6th Week
A cervical range of motion (CROM) goniometer will be used to assess cervical range of motion in flexion, extension. Participants will be seated upright and asked to actively move their neck in each direction.
CROM-Extention
时间窗: Post 6th Week
A cervical range of motion (CROM) goniometer will be used to assess cervical range of motion in flexion, extension. Participants will be seated upright and asked to actively move their neck in each direction.
Deep neck Flexor endurance
时间窗: Post 6th Week
Deep neck flexor endurance test: (Clinical test of endurance for control group)
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
时间窗: Post 6 week
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) is an 11 point (0-10) Scale used to measure pain. Patient verbally select value between (0-10) on the basis of intensity of pain. (0) means No pain and (10) means maximum pain experienced at baseline.
Craniocervical flexion test (Clinical test of endurance for experimental group)
时间窗: Post 6th week
The cranio cervical flexion test (CCFT) is used to assess endurance of the deep cervical flexors. A pressure biofeedback unit is inflated to 20 mmHg and is placed behind the neck. While keeping the back of the head stable, the patient performs cranial cervical flexion in a graded fashion in 5 increments (22, 24, 26, 28, and 30 mmHg). Each position is held for 10 seconds with 10 seconds rest between increments.. The test is ended when the pressure decreases \>20% or when substitution occurs during the head nod.
