Brief Summary

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

Cervical spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear in the cervical spine that can lead to neck pain, stiffness and other symptoms. Sometimes this condition is called arthritis or osteoarthritis of the neck. The spine likely begins this wearing-down process sometime in your 30s. By age 60, almost nine in 10 people have cervical spondylosis .Objective of this study is to compare the effects of Modified cervical retraction Motor control therapeutic exercises on pain, ROM and functional disability in patients with cervical spondylosis

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative process of the cervical spine which affects the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs and causes herniated intervertebral discs, osteophytes, and ligament hypertrophy. It is commonly seen in patients between the ages of 40 and 60. Neck pain not only imposes a notable burden on individuals in the society, but also affects families, the healthcare and economic systems of countries. In 2017, age-standardized prevalence, annual incidence, and years lived with disability from neck pain were estimated at 3551, 807, and 352 per 100,000 population worldwide, respectively Patients seeking medical help for this condition primarily complain of neck pain and/or stiffness. This pain is considered the second most common complaint post low back pain and increased by neck movements especially hyperextension and side bending Currently, there are several therapeutic approaches, either pain relievers or non-medicinal treatments for the management of cervical spondylosis and its associated pain and disability Pain medications mainly include non-steroids anti-inflammatory drugs and narcotics with exercise therapy, massage, physiotherapy, and local injections are among the most common non-medicinal therapies. Evidence suggests that exercise therapy plays a role in improving neck pain and disability of patients with cervical spondylosis. Besides, thanks to being non-invasive and profitable, exercise therapy is commonly used in patient rehabilitation Therapeutic exercises include various workouts such as proprioceptive exercises, stability exercises, strength exercises (dynamic and isometric) and endurance exercises. Neck retraction helps recover the lordotic curve in the lower cervical portion, but kyphotic changes may occur at the upper cervical level. The motor control exercises are the therapeutic approach which mainly focuses on motor control, activation of deep cervical muscles, and aims to retrain the optimal control and coordination of the cervical muscles Apart from the fact that clinical guidelines suggest therapeutic exercises as an integral part of managing neck pain and disability, prescribing the most advantageous exercise therapy has yet been controversial and even current guidelines do not offer specific recommendations on the preferred type and dosage of exercises

Study Groups

: Modified Cervical Retraction Exercises (MCRE)

The patient is in sitting OR standing position and faces the physical therapist. The MCRE program consisted of alternating head positions. Hold each position for 20 sec with 8 to 10 repetitions

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Modified Cervical Retraction Exercises (MCRE)

Intervention Type OTHER

Group A includes Modified cervical retraction exercise The patient is in sitting OR standing position and faces the physical therapist. The MCRE program consisted of alternating head position( neutral, side bending and rotation) while pushing their chin backward patients maintained an upright posture and tried to pull back their shoulders while maintaining this retracted position patient side bend OR rotate their head respectively hold the position for 20 sec.subject performed 5 sets of 10 repetition for 3-4 days per week. Rest intervals of 30 seconds were provided after the completion of 10 repetitions for each pattern and between sets, respectively. The total duration of MCRE will be of approximately 15-20 minutes

Motor Control therapeutic exercise(MCTE)

The MCTE will used is based on retraining the cervical muscles and included four exercises

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Motor Control therapeutic exercise(MCTE)

Intervention Type OTHER

Motor control therapeutic exercises will be guided for the retraining of cervical muscles.it include craniocervical flexor exercise,craniocervical extensor exercise, co-contraction of flexors and extensor, a synergy exercise for retraining the strength of the deep neck flexors. Each of these four exercises will be performed for 3 sets of 8 to 10 repetitions, taking an approximate total duration of 15-20 minutes for, 3 days a week
