Brief Summary

Neck pain is second largest cause of disability worldwide. Chronic neck pain prevalence is 14% which is somewhat higher in females as compared to males. In India reported prevalence is 6%. Therapeutically, neck pain is managed by physiotherapists using rest, stretching and strengthening exercises, educating patient, and intense proprioception and positional exercises.

Conditions

Neck Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Visual analog scale

  Visual analog scale is a subjective outcome measurement where patients judge the intensity of their pain on a scale of 0-10, which is in the form of a 10cm straight line. On this 0-10 scale, zero denotes no pain and ten denotes severe pain intensity.

  2 weeks

• Neck Range of motion

  Range of motion of the cervical spine measured by bubble inclinometer. It consists of a 360-degree scale with a fluid filled circular tube containing a small air bubble. It is a gravity dependent Goniometer, which uses the gravity's effect on fluid level to measure joint position and motion.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Neck disability Index

  2 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Mean and standard deviations of age and height between group A and B

EXPERIMENTAL

100 subjects with a mean age of 30.82±6.75 (group A, 31.42±6.67; group B, 30.82±6.82) ranging from 20 to 45 years, with a mean height of 165.52±7.85 (group A, 164.92±7.79; group B, 166.12±7.87) centimeters

Other: Ultrasound Therapy, SNAGs

Between group comparison of VAS, NDI and ROM

EXPERIMENTAL

VAS, NDI and Neck ROM between two groups were compared at pretest (0 day) and posttest (end of two weeks)

Other: Ultrasound Therapy, SNAGs
