简要总结
Mechanical Neck pain is the second most commonly occurring musculoskeletal disorder worldwide, ranking 4th in overall disability. It is referred to as Nonspecific generalized neck pain with mechanical characteristics with a primary location between the supranuchal line and the first thoracic spinous process, includingpatients suffering from mechanical neck pain are reported to have several impairments, including pain, reduced cervical ROM, neck disability, and proprioceptive dysfunction. The treatment indicated involves the use of electrotherapy and thermal modalities. In addition, the use of different manual therapy techniques is advocated; however, the most effective management is still debatable. Evidence suggests that Natural Apophyseal glides have a significant positive effect on mechanical neck pain patients. So the study will identify the additional effect of cranial base release with natural apophyseal glides in alleviating pain and its effects on proprioception.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control Group
Participants of this group will receive the conventional physical therapy protocol mentioned above. In addition to this, they will receive Natural apophyseal glides 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
- Frequency: 3 times a week for 2 weeks. 6 sessions in total.
- Mobilizations will be performed in Grade 1 initially and then progressed to Grade 2 and 3 depending on the patients pain status and compliance.
