Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to determine the Effects of cervical rehabilitation program on neck pain, ROM and disability after thyroidectomy. Randomized controlled trials will be done at Pakistan ordinance factory (POF) Hospital. The sample size will be 52. The subjects were divided in two groups, with 26 subjects in Group A and 26 in Group B. Study duration will be of 6 months. Sampling technique applied will be Non probability Convenience Sampling technique. Both males and females of aged 30-50 years with thyroidectomy will be included. Tools used in the study are Numeric Pain Rating Score (NPRS), goniometer and neck disability index (NDI).

Conditions

Thyroiditis, Postpartum

Keywords

positional release; suboccipital muscle release

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• NPRS

  It used to assess neck pain intensity. Patients were asked to rate how bad their neck pain will on average (NPRS; range, 0, no pain, to 10, maximum pain). pain will be assessed at baseline and after 1 week.

  1 Week

• Neck disability index

  is used to asses that how neck pain affects the quality of life of a person. It consists of 10 items, from 0-5 points in each item. Total score of NDI is 50 that is converted into percentage of 100 latterly. 0-4 points (0-8%) no disability, 5-14 points ( 10 - 28%) mild disability, 15-24 points (30-48% ) moderate disability, 25-34 points (50- 64%) severe disability, 35-50 points (70-100%) complete disability

EXPERIMENTAL

Positional release technique on trapezius muscle, suboccipital muscle release, pectoralis muscle stretching

Other: cervical rehabilitation program

control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

shoulder and neck exercises

Other: control group

Interventions

cervical rehabilitation program OTHER

(Positional release technique on trapezius muscle): The subject was supine The therapist applied Pressure by pinching the trapezius muscle between the thumb and fingers. Suboccipital muscle release): The patient will be in a Supine lying position therapist places both his palms at suboccipital region with upward pressure causing a stretch and distraction for 30 seconds. This technique was performed 3 times in one session with a rest interval of 1 minute after each time. (Stretching of pectoralis muscle):. once daily Stretching with repetition of five, three times a day for 1week

cervical rehabilitation group

control group OTHER

Relax shoulders and neck sufficiently look down turn face to the right turn face to the left incline head to the right incline head to the left turn shoulders round and round slowly raise hands fully then lower them. patients were asked to perform five repetitions of each stretching exercise, three times per day (morning, afternoon, and evening).
