Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine whether scapular stabilization exercises can help breastfeeding women with non-specific neck pain by reducing their neck pain, cervical range of motion, and neck disability index.

Detailed Description

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

The best infant feeding practice is breastfeeding, which has both immediate and long-term advantages for mothers, babies, the environment, the economy, and society as a whole. Mothers who are nursing frequently experience neck pain. Because the scapula and neck are closely related, scapular stabilization is becoming more and more popular for patients with neck pain.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The control group got the standard physical therapy program, muscle energy technique for the sternocleidomastoid, elevator scapulae, upper trapezius, and pectoralis major, and advice, while the experimental group got the same conventional physical therapy program in addition to scapular stabilization exercises.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Muscle Energy Technique

Intervention Type OTHER

Muscle Energy Technique for the 1.sternocleidomastoid 2. levator scapulae 3. upper trapezius 4. pectoralis major Through mild isometric contractions, it uses the intrinsic energy of a muscle to lengthen it and induce relaxation through autogenic inhibition.

Advice about the right the breastfeeding ergonomic.

Intervention Type OTHER

The patients sit with their backs supported with pillows. Don't lean over the infant. Keep the arms supported and feet on the ground.

Experimental group

got the same conventional physical therapy program plus scapular stabilization exercises.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

scapular stabilization exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Cools exercise using the Thera-Band, including sidelying external rotation, side-lying forward flexion, prone horizontal abduction with external rotation, and prone extension exercises to promote lower trapezius and middle trapezius activity with minimal activation of the upper trapezius part.
