Brief Summary

This project will compare the effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching and Stabilization of Upper Trapezius on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability in Mobile Phone User with mobile phone-induced Neck Pain. The population sample will be 50 divided randomly into two groups by concealed envelop method. Then I will collect data from the social security hospital Physiotherapy department, Lahore. Group A was given stretching exercises and Group B was given stabilization exercises (25 stretchings and 25stabilization). NDI and NPRS were used as an outcome measure to quantify the upper trapezius on pain, range of motion, and functional disability with non-specific neck pain.

Conditions

Neck Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Numerical pain rating scale

  Pain will be measured by Numeric Pain rating scale. 000. NPRS is one of the ways to quantify pain and is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 no pain to 10 worst imaginable pain. It has been shown that a composite scoring system including best, worse, and current level of pain. Pain by definition is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience that is related to tissue damage

  baseline, 4th week, 8th week

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Functional Disability Index

Interventions

PNF stretching OTHER

Neck flexion pattern The therapist slightly pulled the chin so that it was lifted and causing the neck to extend. Commands such as "pull your chin in" and "look at your left hip" were given to the patient. Resistance was given against left rotation, flexion and lateral flexion along with the traction to the patient's chin.Neck extension pattern The therapists lightly pulled the chin so that the neck was flexed; head was rotated and tilted to the left. Commands such as "lift your chin and then "lift your head to look above were given to the patient. Passive resistance was provided against right rotation, extension and lateral flexion.

PNF Stretching: Group A

Stabilization OTHER

Stabilization exercises are shoulder rolls, shrugging, chin tuck, scapular retraction, cervical extension. This was done for 15 repetition

Stabilization Exercises: Group B
