A study to compare the effectiveness of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and myofascial release on pain cervical range of motion and neck disability among subjects with non-specific neck pain

A minimum of 45 participants will be randomly selected for the study between the age group of 18-25 years. The subjects will be divided into 3 groups by random number generator software i.e. Group ‘A’ (Control group), Group ‘B’ (Experimental group1) and Group ‘C’ (Experimental group 2). A minimum of 15 subjects will be allocated to each group. Group A will be treated with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation frequency ranging from 80-100 Hz (High TENS) and 100-250Pulse/second 10 minutes (3 days/week for 2 weeks) and hydro- collateral pack for 15 minutes (3 days/week for consecutive 2 weeks) and Passive Stretching for 1 set 3 reps with 30s hold for (3 days/week for consecutive 2 weeks). Group B will be treated with Myofascial Release along with conventional protocol 2 mins per day for ( 3 days a week for consecutive 2 weeks) will be given. Group C will be treated with INIT (Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique) along with conventional protocol Ischemic Compression (IC=90) secs, Strain-Counter Strain SCS=30secs), Muscle Energy Technique (MET= Hold :10secs, stretch30 secs) 3days/week for consecutive 2 weeks) will be given. The baseline data will be recorded on 1st day (pre-intervention), 3rd day(post-intervention) and on 6th day (post-intervention). Outcome measures included in the study will be Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, Universal Goniometer for range of motion and Neck Disability Scale (NDI) for neck disability.
