Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pressure biofeedback on deep cervical muscle in university teachers suffering from neck pain, Functional Disability and muscle endurance.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study will be to determine whether training of deep cervical flexor muscles with pressure biofeedback has any significant advantage over conventional training for pain and disability experienced by university teachers with neck pain. This study will be a randomized control trial with double blinded protocol. Patient will be randomly allocated in two groups. the experimental group received deep cervical flexor muscles training with pressure biofeedback and conventional exercises. The control group received deep cervical flexor muscles training with only conventional exercises.

Conditions

Study Groups

Deep cervical muscle training using pressure biofeedback and conventional Exercises

The duration of preesure biofeedback includes 3 sets in a session with 10 repetitions each with 2 minutes of rest between sets and 5 days a week for 6 weeks.

Conventional exercises like Stretching and strengthening of neck flexor muscles will include 10 repetitions, each held for 10s with rest of 2 minutes between sets. The session will be conducted for 6 weeks, 5 days a week.
