Brief Summary

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

Neck pain is second largest cause of disability worldwide. Chronic neck pain prevalence is 14% which is somewhat higher in females as compared to males. In India reported prevalence is 6%. Therapeutically, neck pain is managed by physiotherapists using rest, stretching and strengthening exercises, educating patient, and intense proprioception and positional exercises.

Detailed Description

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

To determine the evidences for the efficacy of SNAGs in the Management of Mechanical Neck Pain.

100 patients \[Age group 25-45 yrs\] who were diagnosed with neck pain, with onset ˃1-3 months (chronic) were randomly assigned to group A receiving conventional Physiotherapy plus SNAGs and group B receiving conventional Physiotherapy plus ultrasound.

Subjects in-group A that received conventional Physiotherapy plus SNAGs showed greater Improvement in pain and range of motion compared with the conventional Physiotherapy plus ultrasound group on 2nd week compared with pretreatment.

The result of study suggests that both SNAGs and Ultrasound groups improves the symptoms of neck pain. Ultrasound group improved the pain symptoms but was too small to reach satisfactory outcome for patients. Based on these results conventional Physiotherapy plus SNAGs should be the treatment of choice for neck pain rather than conventional Physiotherapy plus Ultrasound .
