简要总结
This project is a Randomized clinical trial, will be conducted to check the comparative effects of scapular stabilization versus scapular functional exercises in patients with chronic neck pain. Study duration will be of 8 months, convenient sampling will be done, subject following eligibility criteria from Amina Physical therapy and rehab Centre Lahore, will be randomly allocated in two groups, baseline assessment will be done, Group A participants will be given baseline treatment along with scapular stabilization exercises, Group B participants will be given baseline treatment along with scapular functional exercises. Assessment will be done in 4th week and 8th week via, Visual analogue scale for neck pain, Function of neck will be assessed by Neck disability index and inclinometer measurements of cervical ranges,3 sessions per week will be given, data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 21.
详细描述
In recent years musculoskeletal related problems are the leading cause of discomfort in people worldwide. Chronic neck pain is among the most commonly reported problems to physicians. Even before reporting to clinics there is long history of using over the counter pain killers. For the duration of rehabilitation in patients who are suffering from chronic neck pain, exercising has been considered one of the maximum proof-based modalities. Rehabilitation exercises that aim to return functionality of the scapular muscles are deemed necessary to render a successful result on chronic neck pain. In previous researches no one explains the specific treatment protocol in scapular exercises. The current study has compared the effects of scapular stabilization exercises and scapular functional exercises protocol and also compare which is more effective for chronic neck pain.

结局指标
主要结局
VAS
时间窗: 8th Week
This VAS will be used in this study to measure Pain. Patients will be instructed to assess the severity of neck pain experienced last week on a 0-10 cm horizontal line (0 = painless and 10 = worst pain imaginable).
NDI
时间窗: 8th Week
NDI will be used to measure function of neck. Neck disability index is the first tool to measure the self-reported disability in patients with neck pain. Total score of NDI is 50 and ranges are defined on the level of disability.
Inclinometer
时间窗: 8th Week
Cervical spine range of motion will be assessed by inclinometer. It consists of a circular, fluid-filled disk with a bubble that indicates the number of degrees on the scale of protractor. Bubble inclinometer showed good intrarater and interrater reliability with intraclass Correlation Coefficient
