Brief Summary

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

Purposes of the study

To investigate the effect of adding Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises to conventional physical therapy in patients with Chronic Non-Specific Neck Pain

Detailed Description

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

Patients will be randomized into either Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises group or Conventional physical therapy group. Patients will receive the intervention for six weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention.

Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises + Conventional physical therapy

Patients in this group will receive Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises + Conventional physical therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

The patient will wear a neck harness, and a weight equivalent to 90% of the patient's measured maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) will be attached to it.

Conventional physical therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Conventional physical therapy consisting of TENS for pain control, soft tissue release for the cervical and associated muscles, activation and strengthening exercises for the deep neck flexors, extensors, and scapular muscles, as well as diaphragmatic breathing exercises.
