Brief Summary

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

The primary objective of this study is to compare effects of SCS and METs on reduction of neck pain intensity and improvement in functional disability in individuals with CGH. The secondary objective is to assess the impact of both techniques on ROM in cervical spine

Study Groups

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

1

This group containing 27 participants

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Strain-counterstrain

Intervention Type OTHER

This is a technique that uses gentle body positioning passively to treat muscles and joints pain. So, this can be effective for neck pain in patients with CGH

2

This group also containing 27 participants

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Muscle energy techniques

Intervention Type OTHER

This technique uses patient's own muscles to treat muscles and joint restrictions. So, this technique can be prove affective for neck pain and limited range in patients with CGH
