Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to find the effect of Gongs mobilization in comparison with Kaltenborn mobilization on mechanical neck pain , range of motion and proprioception.A randomized control trial that will include total 44 participants. The first group will receive Gongs mobilization along with conventional therapy and 2nd group will receive Kaltenborn mobilization along with conventional therapy.

Conditions

Mechanical Neck Pain

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale NPRS

  The NPRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale which is used to assess pain. It scores ranges from 0-10, 0 means No pain and 10 means Severe pain. Patient will be asked to verbally report the pain score.

  4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• : Goniometer

  4 weeks

• Cervical Joint Position Error

  4 weeks

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

Gongs mobilization and conventional therapy , sessions 3 per week , mobilization for 5 minutes and 30 minutes session for total 4 weeks. exercise 3 sets for 10 repetitions. Modality (Hydrocollator pack, TENS for 15 minutes with pulse frequency of 10-200 Hz, pulse width 100 - 250 micro seconds.

Other: Gongs mobilization + conventional physical therapy

Group B

EXPERIMENTAL

Kaltenborn mobilization along with cervical traction and conventional therapy: Intervention will be given 3 times/week 5 minutes mobilization Exercise 3 sets for 10 repetitions and 30 minutes session for 4 consecutive weeks. Modality including (Hydrocollator pack, TENS for 15 minutes with pulse frequency of 10-200 Hz, pulse width 100 - 250 micro seconds. Intensity tolerated by patients.

Other: Kaltenborn mobilization along with traction + conventional therapy
