Brief Summary

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

This project will compare the effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching and Stabilization of Upper Trapezius on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability in Mobile Phone User with mobile phone-induced Neck Pain. The population sample will be 50 divided randomly into two groups by concealed envelop method. Then I will collect data from the social security hospital Physiotherapy department, Lahore. Group A was given stretching exercises and Group B was given stabilization exercises (25 stretchings and 25stabilization). NDI and NPRS were used as an outcome measure to quantify the upper trapezius on pain, range of motion, and functional disability with non-specific neck pain.

The population sample will be 50 divided randomly into two groups by concealed envelop method. Then I will collect data from the social security hospital Physiotherapy department, Lahore.

NDI and NPRS were used as an outcome measure to quantify the upper trapezius on pain, range of motion, and functional disability with non-specific neck pain. Single blinding of accessor was done at the time of recording of outcome measures pre and post-treatment Baseline was 4th week and 8th week. Eighty female participants and twenty male participants in each group. The duration was 9 months. The 18-30 years age range of both males and females were considered. There was not any statistically significant difference between the two groups as p \> 0.05. But within-group changes show that there was a significant change in baseline, 4th week, and 8th-week readings for NDI, NPRS, and ROM with p \< 0.05.

Study Groups

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

PNF Stretching: Group A

Routine physical therapy treatment

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PNF stretching

Intervention Type OTHER

Neck flexion pattern The therapist slightly pulled the chin so that it was lifted and causing the neck to extend. Commands such as "pull your chin in" and "look at your left hip" were given to the patient. Resistance was given against left rotation, flexion and lateral flexion along with the traction to the patient's chin.Neck extension pattern The therapists lightly pulled the chin so that the neck was flexed; head was rotated and tilted to the left. Commands such as "lift your chin and then "lift your head to look above were given to the patient. Passive resistance was provided against right rotation, extension and lateral flexion.

Stabilization Exercises: Group B

Routine physical therapy treatment

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stabilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Stabilization exercises are shoulder rolls, shrugging, chin tuck, scapular retraction, cervical extension. This was done for 15 repetition
