简要总结
This randomized parallel group trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined therapeutic exercise program targeting forward head posture and scapular dyskinesis in individuals with nonspecific neck pain. Sixty participants will be randomly allocated into experimental and control groups. The experimental group will receive interferential therapy followed by deep cervical flexor training, postural correction exercises and scapular stabilization exercises. The control group will receive interferential therapy followed by conventional cervical exercises. The intervention will be provided three sessions per week for six weeks. Pain intensity measured by Numeric Pain Rating Scale will be the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include Neck Disability Index, Craniovertebral Angle and Scapular Dyskinesis Test. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after six weeks of intervention.
