Brief Summary

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

A Quasi-experimental study will investigate the effect of dry cupping massage versus myofascial release on patients with mechanical neck pain.

Detailed Description

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

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of dry cupping massage versus myofascial release on pain level, range of motion, and functional level in mechanical neck pain…

BACKGROUND: Neck pain is a multivariate disease and is a leading issue in a modernized society. The economic burden of neck pain is remarkable and includes treatment costs, reduced productivity, and job-related problems (Cohen, 2015).

There is no one definitive treatment for neck pain. However, different pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments have been recommended, including laser therapy, massage, acupuncture, yoga, and aquatic therapy (Corvillo et al., 2020). However, no studies are focusing on comparing the effect of dynamic cupping and myofascial release in mechanical neck pain.

HYPOTHESES: There will be a non-significant difference between dry cupping massage and myofascial release on pain level, range of motion, and functional level in patients with mechanical neck pain…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Will there be a difference between dry cupping massage versus myofascial release on pain level, range of motion, and functional level in patients with mechanical neck pain?

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Dry cupping is a form of massage therapy that involves using Hijamat cups without skin injury while applying suction and then performing circular and transverse movements

Group B

group B (will receive myofascial release technique in addition to traditional exercises)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Myofacial release

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Myofascial release is a form of manual therapy using hands-on techniques to regain tissue extensibility and elasticity
