Brief Summary

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

the objective of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of neck stabilization exercises versus neck dynamic exercises in patients having non specific neck pain with forward head posture for pain intensity, correction of forward head posture, increasing Range of movement and decrease functional disability. the study is being conducted at physiotherapy department of institute of physical medicine and rehabilitation (Dow university of health sciences) total 60 patients with non specific neck pain with forward head posture recruited by non-probability sampling technique initially screening done by consultant physicians who is blinded to the treatment given to patients. patient are included in study who fulfill inclusion criteria and sign the consent form. patients then randomly allocated to both treatment groups using computer generated randomization sheet. baseline assessment is taken at first session after providing 9 treatment of stabilizing exercises to group1 and dynamic exercises to group 2 session post assessment will be done on goniometry, NDI, VAS and plumb line at last session at third week.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

it is a randomized clinical trial. total 60 patients will be recruited 30 in each group. both groups are treatment group. treatment of group 1 is stabilization exercises and group 2 is dynamic exercises. patients are allocated randomly randomization is done by computer generated software sheet

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

outcome assessor will be blinded to the treatment provided to both treatment groups.

Study Groups

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

Treatment group 1: stabilization exercises

stabilization exercises

1. Chin tuck
2. Cervical extension
3. Shoulder shrugs
4. Shoulder rolls
5. Scapular retraction (15 repetitions 1 set) with TENS(10 mins before each session for 10 min at the back of the neck), stretching of trapezius, Pectorals minor, sternocleidomastoid, levator scapulae (5 rep 10 sec hold 1 set in both sides ) and cold pack (10 min at the back of neck at the end of each session)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stabilization exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

The activation of deep cervical muscle to reduce the activity of surface muscles is known as stabilization exercises

Treatment group 2: dynamic exercises

dynamic exercises

1. Cervical extension-dynamic isometric.
2. Cervical Flexion-Dynamic isometric.
3. Chest flies exercises (15 repetitions 1 set) with TENS(10 mins before each session for 10 min at the back of the neck), stretching of trapezius, Pectorals minor, sternocleidomastoid, levator scapulae (5 rep 10 sec hold 1 set in both sides ) and cold pack (10 min at the back of neck at the end of each session)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
