Brief Summary

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

Cervical spine pain is the one the most common musculoskeletal disorder and spinal overload is one of the major causes. Forward tilting of every inch of head increases load on the cervical spine and is referred as cervical spine overload. Persistent overloading and overburdening results in radiation of pain, weakness of muscles and limitation in joint range.

Psychological factors are also play role in acute, sub-acute or chronic neck pain. Treatment commonly used for this pain is NSAID, physiotherapy interventions (mobilisation, manipulation, TENS, ultrasound, stretching, isometrics and FDM) and awareness about posture. FDM was established in 1991 by Stephan Typaldos and it recommends that musculoskeletal ailments are due to disruption in fascia. There are 6 diverse proposed facial distortions and diagnosis in this model i.e., trigger band, herniated trigger band, folding distortion, continuum distortion, tectonic fixation and cylinder distortion. Main purpose of this randomised clinical trial will be to find out the effects of fascial distortion model with and without neck isometrics in patients with cervical spine overload.

Patients will be recruited into study by consecutive sampling technique and after that patients will be allocated to the groups by random sampling assignment. NPRS, NDI and goniometer will be used as data measuring tool. Treatment will be given to 2 groups. One group will get treatment of only FDM and other group will get treatment of FDM and neck isometrics as well. Treatment will be given two times a week for 4weeks and duration of the session will be of 30 minutes. After collecting data from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows software, version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be use within a group or between two groups.
