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 was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was Non probability Convenience Sampling technique. Both males and females of aged 30-50 years with thyroidectomy were included. Tools used in the study are Numeric Pain Rating Score (NPRS), goniometer and neck disability index (NDI).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (8)
Numeric Pain Rating Score (NPRS):
was used to assess neck pain intensity. Patients were asked to rate how bad their neck pain was on average (NPRS; range, 0, no pain, to 10, maximum pain
1 week
NDI
NDI 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.
1 Week
cervical flexion range of motion
the person is asked to move neck forward to touch chin and the range is taken
1 week
cervical extension range of motion
the person is asked to move neck backward as far as possible and the range is taken
1 week
cervical Rt rotation range of motion
the person is asked to move neck sideways to Rt side like saing "no" and the range is taken
1 week
cervical Lt rotation range of motion
the person is asked to move neck sideways to Lt side like saing "no" and the range is taken
1 week
cervical Rt side flexion range of motion
the person is asked to move neck sideways to Rt side like touching ear to shoulder and range is taken
1 week
cervical Lt side flexion range of motion
the person is asked to move neck sideways to Rt side like touching ear to shoulder and range is taken
1 week
Study Arms (2)
Cervical Rehabilitation program (Intervention Group) Group A
EXPERIMENTALPositional release technique on trapezius muscle, Suboccipital muscle release, Stretching of pectoralis muscle
(control group) Group B
ACTIVE COMPARATORneck and shoulder ROMS
Interventions
(Positional release technique on trapezius muscle): the therapist locate and apply pressure along the tender points in the upper fibers of the trapezius. Lateral flexion of subject's head toward the side of a tender point held for 90 seconds. (Suboccipital muscle release): The therapist places both his palms under the sub occipital region of the subject with his curled-up fingers and places an upward pressure causing a stretch and distraction for 30 seconds,This technique was performed 3 times in one session. Stretching of pectoralis muscle: Pectoralis muscle stretch were performed once daily, completing three repetitions on each side with a 30-second hold. Stretching with repetition of five, three times a day for 1week neck and soulder ROMs
1. Relax shoulders and neck sufficiently 2. look down 3. turn face to the right 4. turn face to the left 5. incline head to the right 6. incline head to the left 7. turn shoulders round and round 8. 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).
