The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of Bruegger's Relief Exercise combined with conventional physical therapy on pain intensity, functional disability, cervical range of motion, and craniovertebral angle in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain

Numeric Pain Rating Scale
An 11-point scale (0-10) used to assess pain intensity. 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates worst imaginable pain. Participants verbally report their pain score
Baseline, Week 2, Week 4
Neck Disability Index
The NDI is a 10-item questionnaire assessing functional disability related to neck pain. Each item is scored 0-5 with total score range 0-50. Higher scores indicate greater disability.
Baseline, Week 2, Week 4
Cervical Range of Motion
A universal goniometer will be used to measure cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation
Baseline, Week 2, Week 4
Craniovertebral Angle
CVA will be measured using the Angle - Video Goniometer mobile application via lateral photographic analysis. A smaller angle indicates greater forward head posture.
Baseline, Week 2, Week
Bruegger's Relief Exercise + Conventional Physical Therapy
Conventional Physical Therapy
Bruegger's Relief Exercise. High sitting neutral posture with feet flat on the floor and a light resistance band held across the thighs. 1A gentle chin tuck is performed to maintain cervical alignment. The movement includes 2 shoulder abduction and external rotation 3. Elbow extension 4. Forearm supination 5. Wrist extension 6. Finger and thumb abduction, coordinated with diaphragmatic breathing. (Hold duration: 10-30 seconds with progression of 2 seconds per session). 12 repetitions per session with 30-second rest interval between holds. Total duration is 3 sessions per week for 4 consecutive weeks.
