Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Heart and lungs are the main organs housed by the thoracic cage with all their vascular and nervous supply passing through the cervical and the thoracic spine. The respiratory system could be affected by the musculoskeletal system of the body. As there are accessory respiratory muscles of respiration that are attached to the neck, chest wall and/or abdomen.
Bad posture, for instance, can lead to reduction in power of the neck muscles hence reducing power of the respiratory muscles creating negative effect on the thoracic expansion, alveolar ventilation, reducing lung volume and vital capacity.
Every health system is indicated by certain measures, vital signs are indicative of the health of cardiovascular and respiratory system as well as body as a whole. These physiological observations generally include blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and ventilation rate (VR), temperature (Temp), and oxygen saturation (SPO2) in the blood. Another vital sign, known as the fifth vital sign is Pain.
Changes or deviation of the vital signs from its normal ranges help evaluate and manage any adverse event such as cardiac arrest or sudden death and help in preventing many such deadly events by early recognition and prompt treatments and also help reduce mortality and morbidity.
Several studies have been known to show that alterations in vital signs are not only seen as a result of any pathological event but also any non-pathological as well. Any type of physiological movements of body part such as the spine as a whole or interventional movements, several exercises, mobilization or manipulations, to any segment of the spine like cervical, thoracic or lumbar, have a specific effect on the vital signs.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
Questionnaires were given to the participants. Before the initiation of treatment, procedure and consent details were explained and verbally translated into the native languages of participants, followed by the written signed approval on the questionnaire. Cervical ranges were measured using inclinometer which included neck flexion, extension, left and right side bending. Succeeding it were vitals in which oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure, ventilation rate were jotted along with pain measurement using NPRS scale.
Traction Mobilization technique
Traction Mobilization was given by Researcher at the cervical spine followed by a one minute interval before post vitals were taken, that marked the end of the first session. Three similar sessions succeeded the first, each at an interval of 2 days for 2 weeks between the first and second session; third and fourth session respectively. At the end of the fourth session, cervical ranges and pain intensity were noted again. Participant sits comfortably or leans against a chair backrest. Palms of the hands are placed on the mastoid processes of the patient's skull while pressing the elbows in a caudal direction. It was held for 5 seconds then relaxed.

Traction Mobilization technique with SNAGS
Traction Mobilization with SNAGS were given at the cervical spine followed by a one minute interval before post vitals were taken, that marked the end of the first session. Three similar sessions succeeded the first, each at an interval of 2 days for 2 weeks between the first and second session; third and fourth session respectively. At the end of the fourth session, cervical ranges and pain intensity were noted again The position of the therapist is behind him or her, medial border of therapist's right thumb is used to contact the spinous process of C6 vertebrae i.e. level above the suspected painful or hypo mobile region. Therapist's left thumb reinforces his/her (right) contact thumb. Therapist fingers are gently placed along the patient's mandible or thorax. Following the treatment plane towards the eye, lift comes from the mobilizing thumb not the contact thumb. While the glide is maintained, the patient is asked to rotate his/her head towards the side of pain or hypo mobility.
