Brief Summary

To compare the effects of kinesio taping, cervical thrust manipulation and conventional therapy on neck pain, functional status and range of motion

Conditions

Neck Pain

Keywords

Mechanical neck pain; Kinesio taping; Cervical manipulation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cervical range of motion

  This tool will be used to detect cervical range of motion like cervical flexion, cervical extension, cervical side bending and cervical rotation at the baseline and at the end of 6th week. Cervical spines range of motion is 80-90 degrees of flexion, 70 degrees of extension, 20-45 degrees of lateral bending and up to 90 degrees of rotations.

  6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Numerical pain rating scale

  6 weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

• Neck functional stability

  6 weeks

Study Arms (3)

Kinesio taping group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this group will receive treatment through standardized therapeutic Kinesio taping along with conventional therapy. Tape will be water proof, porous, adhesive,with width of 5cm and thickness of 0.5 mm.

Other: Kinesio taping group

Cervical thrust manipulation group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this group will receive treatment via cervical thrust manipulation along with conventional therapy. Manipulation will be directed on mid cervical spine.

Other: Cervical thrust manipulation group

Conventional therapy group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

.Participants of this group will receive only conventional therapy which will include: Hot pack for 10 minutes Stretching Exercises

Other: Conventional therapy group

Interventions

Kinesio taping group OTHER

Participants in this group will receive treatment through standardised therapeutic kinesio taping along with conventional therapy. Tape will place over the posterior cervical extensor muscle, from insertion to the origin, with the patient's neck in cervical contralateral side-bending and rotation. Duration of kinesio tape will be of 48 hours with 50-100% tension. Participants of this group will also receive conventional therapy which will include: Hot pack for 10 minutes Stretching exercises of the neck muscles. This protocol is for 6 weeks. The sessions will be given twice a week making it a total of 12 sessions.

Kinesio taping group

Cervical thrust manipulation group OTHER

Participants of this group will receive treatment via cervical thrust manipulation along with conventional therapy. For mid cervical spine thrust manipulation, the patient will be in supine lying position,with cervical spine in neutral position. The therapist will cradle the patients head with the other hand. Gentle ipsilateral cervical side flexion and contralateral rotation will introduce until tension will perceive in target tissues at contact point. A high velocity, low amplitude thrust manipulation, will direct upward and medially in direction of subject's contralateral eye. Participants of this group will also receive conventional therapy which will include: Hot pack for 10 minutes Stretching exercises of the neck muscles. This intervention protocol is for 6 weeks. The sessions will be given twice a week making it a total of 12 sessions with 1 month follow up.

Cervical thrust manipulation group

Conventional therapy group OTHER

Participants of this group will receive only conventional therapy which will include: Hot pack for 10 minutes Stretching Exercises of neck muscles. For sternocleidomastoid stretching, the subject will ask to sit or stand facing forward, exhale and slowly turn your head to right, by keeping shoulder relaxed and down,inhale and return to the center, then turn to look at your left shoulder, ask to hold this position for 30 seconds and do 3 repetitions. For Trapezius stretching, patient is seated upright, therapist then passively move right ear to right shoulder. This study includes interventional protocol of 6 weeks. The session will be given twice a week making it a total of 12 sessions with 1 month follow up.

Conventional therapy group
