Brief Summary

This study was conducted to see the effect of proprioceptive exercises on pain and function in Non-specific chronic neck pain. Twenty participants with chronic Non-specific neck pain were enrolled in this study. During the final week of treatment, 14 patients were assessed at the end of the sixth treatment week. Participants were randomized into two groups treatment group and control group. Both groups were treated with conventional treatment which were strengthening exercises. Treatment group was also treated by proprioception exercises. For measurement of pain and disability NPRS and NDI scales were used. Exercise regime distributed in six weeks period one session per week exercise, 10-12 repetitions with 1-minute rest interval, lasted 45 minutes in both groups. pre-treatment and post-treatment measurements were taken.

Study Arms (2)

Proprioceptive exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Group A treated with proprioceptive exercises. proprioception exercises included. 1. Head relocation it involve the practice of relocating head back to natural head posture and to predetermined positions in range first with eyes open using feedback from a laser attached to their head and then with closed all active movement of cervical flexion extension lateral flexion and rotations were used. 2. Gaze stability oculomotor exercises commencing with eyes movement with the head stationary, progressing to movement of head with visual fixation on a target. 3. Eye head coordination exercises, commenced with rotation of eyes and head to the same side in both right and left directions. Then progressed with both eyes and head move in opposite direction

Other: proprioceptive exercises

Strengthening exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Group B treated with strengthening exercises which are performed with prone and supine position by placing a towel under head, press towel for 5 seconds with 10-12 repetitions ,one set in a week for six weeks for cervical muscles

Other: Strengthening exercise
