Immediate effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) along with Relaxation Technique on Dysfunctional Breathing and Heart Rate Variability in the individuals with Chronic Neck Pain

Chronic neck pain is the commonest musculoskeletal condition amongst the healthy active population. In any Pain, Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is modulated with the up gradation of sympathetic component which leads to increase in allostatic load resulting in Dysfunctional Breathing. Heart Rate Variability is a biomarker which reflects the function of ANS significantly. Assessment of the HRV is a non-invasive technique and can be approach to assess pain in any musculoskeletal conditions. as the pain and HRV are related to ANS dysfunction, and there is a connection between ANS and Dysfunctional Breathing, the need of the study occurs to know that if we treat neck pain with LOW TENS along with Jacobson’s Technique, is there any effect on Heart Rate Variability and Dysfunctional in Chronic Neck Pain individuals.
