Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of Mulligan technique vs stretching techniques and vs routine physical therapy on pain ,range of motion(ROM) and functional disability among restaurant chefs with non-specific chronic pain.

Detailed Description

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

Neck pain (NP) is one of the basic musculoskeletal issues. Neck pain can be due to stress about the musculoskeletal framework because of postural problems and may be related with different causes, such as: - Intervertebral disc herniation, -nerve compression -fracture.

Nonspecific neck pain is a pain located in the lateral and posterior neck that does not show pathognomonic signs and symptoms. When the duration of symptoms is greater than 12 weeks of evolution, it acquires the value of chronicity, being denominated non-specific chronic neck pain (NCNP). It is a common disorder, which generates a great impact and socio-economic cost .

In this study we evaluate the comparison of manual physical therapy vs routine physical therapy vs stretching physical therapy effects among restaurants chefs having non-specific chronic pain.

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Outcome Assessors
The study would be double blinded as accessor and the participant of the study would be kept blind of the treatment group to which patient would be allocated. After the complete initial screening process, every recruited patient will be accessed by an independent assessor, expert will use outcome measuring tools. his will be recorded as baseline measurement assessment.
