Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Impaired cervical joint position sense is associated with neck pain. This study will determine the effects of sensorimotor control training exercises on cervical joint position, pain, ROM and function in nonspecific chronic neck pain. There will be two groups ; experimental and control. Half of study group will receive cervical sensorimotor control training exercises and half of study group will receive conventional physiotherapy protocol.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is Randomized Control Trail , which is being conducted in physical therapy Out patient department of Pakistan Railway hospital (April 2019-July 2019) . Sample size of 18 individual was calculated using Epitool with 95% confidence interval (CI), and power 80%. Individual will be screened out according to inclusion criteria. Individuals will be allocated randomly into two groups , 9 in cervical Sensori-motor training group and 9 in conventional physiotherapy protocol group by sealed envelope method.

Both groups will receive conventional physiotherapy protocol (hot pack, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises) for neck pain in common and the experimental group will receive cervical sensorimotor control training in addition to conventional protocol.

Assessment will be done on baseline and 6th week.

Data will be analysed on SPSS version 21.

Both experimental and control groups will be treated simultaneously with one treatment option common to both groups

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants

This study will be single blinded randomized control trail, participants will be unaware of treatment groups, they will be randomly allocated through sealed envelope method.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group I

This group of participant will receive Cervical sensorimotor control training exercises. In addition to it conventional physical therapy protocol will be given.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cervical sensorimotor control training exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Cervical sensory motor training exercises consisting of cervical position sense and cervical movement sense exercises with 3 levels of difficulty and 5 repetitions \* 3 sets for each exercise will be given. Some exercises are:

Head relocation with laser feedback:

head relocation to neutral and predetermined position with eyes opened (in horizontal / vertical direction) (5 reps x 3 sets) Head relocation to neutral, predetermined and to specific targets with eyes opened (in diagonal directions) (5 reps x 3 sets) Head relocation to neutral and predetermined position with eyes closed (in all directions)(5 reps x 3 sets) In addition to it conventional physical therapy protocol consisting of Generalized stretching and cervical strengthening exercises along with joint mobility.

Group II Control

this group of participant will receive Conventional physical therapy protocol.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

conventional physical therapy protocol consisting of Generalized stretching and cervical strengthening exercises along with joint mobility exercises will be given to patients.
