Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The objective of the study is to find out theEffect of Exercise among Turtle Neck Syndrome in Pakistani Population. A total of 100 participants will be included in the study having both males and females. The pain pattern will be assessed by Visual Analog Scale and Posture Grid Assessment tool will be used to assess posture before and after the treatment session.
The study will be divided into three main sections or groups. One group will be treated by myofascial release only while other group will be treated by muscle energy technique for the management of turtle neck syndrome. Third group will receive both MFP and MET exercise. People having neck pain and those who will be willing to participate will be included in the study.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Consent will be taken from the patients. Only those patients meeting the inclusion criteria and screening questions will included in the study and those who will be willing to participate.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
group 1 myofascial release
soft tissue release technique to release tension from muscles which relieves pain and increase range of motion
myofascial release
Soft tissue release will be performed on the trapezius, sub occipital and sternocleidomastoid muscles. The visual analog scale will be used to check pain intensity. Algometer will be used to check the pain pressure threshold and tissue hardness. neck disability index will be used to check neck disability
group 2 muscle energy technique
soft tissue release technique to release tension from muscles which relieves pain and increase range of motion
muscle energy technique
Muscle energy Technique will be performed on the trapezius, sub occipital and sternocleidomastoid muscles. The visual analog scale will be used to check pain intensity. Algometer will be used to check the pain pressure threshold and tissue hardness. neck disability index will be used to check neck disability
group 3 MFR & MET
combination of two soft tissue release techniques to release tension from muscles which relieves pain and increase range of motion
MFR & MET
combination of myofascial release and muscle energy technique will be performed on the trapezius, suboccipital and sternocleidomastoid muscles. The visual analog scale will be used to check pain intensity. Algometer will be used to check the pain pressure threshold and tissue hardness. neck disability index will be used to check neck disability
group 4 conventional therapy
combination of traditional techniques to relieve pain and spasm
conventional therapy
traditional physical therapy devices are used to relieve pain and spam. this will include a hot pack, ultrasound, and TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
