Effectiveness of Mulligan Mobilization on Chronic Neck Pain and Range of Motion
Sponsor: Prof. Mosab Saleem Hamed Amoudi
Summary
This randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of adding Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) to conventional physiotherapy in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain. Seventy-six participants aged 18-65 years were randomly assigned to receive either conventional physiotherapy alone or conventional physiotherapy combined with MWM for four weeks. Pain intensity, cervical range of motion, and functional disability were assessed before and after the intervention. The study aimed to compare changes in pain intensity, cervical range of motion, and functional disability between the two treatment groups.

The Mulligan Concept is a manual therapy approach developed by New Zealand physiotherapist Brian Mulligan in the 1980s. It includes techniques such as Mobilization with Movement (MWM) and the Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide (SNAG), which have attracted significant attention for their effectiveness in treating neck pain.
