Targeted Cervical Versus Integrated Trunk and Diaphragmatic Muscle Retraining for Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain

Persistent pain, functional disability, cervical motor control deficit, and abnormal posture are associated with chronic mechanical neck pain. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of an integrated physiotherapy program of cervical motor control training, lumbopelvic stabilization, diaphragmatic breathing exercises, and pressure biofeedback versus conventional cervical physiotherapy in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain through a randomized controlled trial. 40 eligible participants were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. The two groups were all given supervised physiotherapy three times a week for 6 weeks plus a standardized home exercise program. The main aim was to investigate the efficacy of the interventions on pain intensity and neck related disability. Secondary outcomes were CROM, DCFE, head position, and patient perceived recovery. Outcome measures were conducted at both baseline and the end of the six-week intervention.

Comparison Between Bowen Therapy and Myofascial Release Technique on Chronic Neck Pain

Mechanical neck pain (MNP) refers to aches and pains in the cervical spine and around the cervicothoracic junction that do not have a specific anatomical or physical source. Multiple non-invasive physiotherapy methods can be used for treating MNP including bowen therapy and myofascial release therapy. Main objective of the study is to evaluate effect of bowen therapy in the treatment of MNP, improving range of motion and functional limitation among bankers of faisalabad

Thoracic Thrust With Cervical Non-Thrust Mobilization in Mechanical Neck Pain

This study is a randomised controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of thoracic thrust with cervical non-thrust mobilization in mechanical neck pain on components such as pain, thoracic range of motion, kyphotic angle, craniovertebral angle and proprioception.
