The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to find the comparative effect of Active Release Technique and Myofascial release, each combined with eye exercises, on asthenopia, sleep quality, stress, pain and functional disability in patients with CMPS. A total of 44 participants will be randomized into two groups, ART + eye exercises and MFR+ eye exercises with interventions provided 3 days per week for 4 weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 2 weeks and then after 4 weeks.

: Neck Disability Index (NDI)
The Neck impairment Index (NDI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure the self-rated impairment of patients with neck pain and to establish how neck pain impacts a patient's everyday life. A vertical scale from 0 to 5 is used to rate the questions; After scoring, 0-4 points (0-8%) indicate no disability, 5-14 points (10-28%) indicate mild disability, 15-24 points (30-48%) indicate moderate disability, 25-34 points (50-64%) indicate severe disability, and 35-50 points (70-100%) indicate complete disability
Baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks (one-month follow-up)
Numeric Pain Rating Scale NPRS
The numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) is a tool used to assess pain intensity, where patients rate their pain on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst possible pain.
Baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks (one-month follow-up)
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a standardized questionnaire used to assess sleep quality and disturbances over a one-month period. It consists of 19 self-rated questions grouped into seven components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction. a global score ranging from 0 to 21. A global PSQI score greater than 5 indicates poor sleep quality, while a score of 5 or below reflects good sleep quality.
Active Release Technique + Eye exercises
* MFR applied with forearm/ulnar border of palm, gliding towards neck base/upper scapula, Sustained gentle pressure is maintained, held until a release (softening/yield) of fascial tissue is felt; the pressure is gradually increased as tolerance allows. * 3-4 glides × 90 seconds each, according to tolerance. * Frequency: 3 days/week for 4 weeks. * Followed by the same Eye Exercises as in experimental group

ASQ-17 (Asthenopia Survey Questionnaire)
The ASQ-17 (Asthenopia Survey Questionnaire) is a self-administered questionnaire that measures asthenopia (or eye strain) and associated symptoms. The ASQ-17 covers 7 items of eye strain symptoms, 6 items of visual symptoms and 4 items of systemic and psychological symptoms with a maximum total score of 51 and an optimal cut-off threshold value of 12.5, indicating the presence of asthenopia.
Baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks (one-month follow-up)
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a widely used psychological instrument designed to measure the degree to which individuals perceive their lives as stressful. The scale typically includes 10 items (PSS-10), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 40. Scoring involves reversing the scores for positively worded items (items 4, 5, 7, and 8), then summing all item scores. Interpretation of scores is generally categorized as follows: 0-13 indicates low stress, 14-26 suggests moderate stress, and 27-40 reflects high perceived stress. Higher scores indicate greater levels of perceived stress.
Baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks (one-month follow-up)
ART applied to cervical region (upper trapezius, Levator scapula and SCM) deep tension stretch with thumb over the tender areas , repeated 3-5 times. Frequency: 3 days/week for 4 weeks Followed by Eye exercises (3 days/week for 4 weeks) * Trataka (focusing on one point) = 30s/ 3 times * Eye ball movements = 10 reps/ 2sets i. Sideways ii. Up and down iii. Two ways diagonal movement iv. Clockwise and anticlockwise rotational movements * Eye blinking and opening = 10 reps/ 2sets * Palming = 30s/1 time
