Combined Effects of Bruegger's Exercises and Upper Thoracic Mobilizations Along With Standard Physical Therapy in Patients With Non-specific Neck Pain

Обзор

Neck pain is a multifactorial disease, and is a major problem in modern society. Patients with NCNP usually have alterations in cervical proprioception and PS. They may also develop symptoms such as dizziness or vertigo. A recently published study shows that patients with NCNP suffer greater sensations of stunning and lack of proprioception than patients with benign paroxysmal vertigo.

Подробное описание

This study will be a randomized controlled trial and will be conducted on general population in Gujrat. Non-probability convenient sampling will be used to collect the data. Sample size of 48 subjects with age group between 25-45 years will be taken. Data will be collected from the patients having present complaint of Nonspecific Neck pain. Outcome measures will be taken using Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) for pain, Neck disability index (NDI) for measuring disability and goniometer for range of motion (ROM). An informed consent will be taken. Subjects will be selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be equally divided into two groups by random number generator table. Both the Groups will receive standard physical therapy, while Group A will receive bruegger's exercises and Group B will receive Upper thoracic mobilization. Outcome measures will be measured at baseline then after 4 weeks(post). Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 21.

• Другое Bruegger's Exercise and Upper Thoracic Mobilization
  Bruegger's Exercise: The position will be held for 10 second at first session and then there will be an increment of 2 seconds during each session. Upper Thoracic Mobilization: Upper thoracic (T1-T6) mobilization (Maitland mobilization (Grade I, II and III; PA glide) applied in prone lying position from via spinous process. Amount of treatment will be 3-4 mobilizations for a vertebra for 30 seconds approximately.

  Isometric exercises will be done for flexors, extensors, rotators, and lateral flexors of the neck. Isometrically contracting working muscle for 5 seconds against patients own hand, which was placed in compliance with the working muscles, with a total of 10 repetitions. Passive stretching will apply to Upper trapezius, Levator scapulae, Sternocleidomastoid, Scalene, Pectoralis major and minor muscle for 3-5 repetition 10 with 20-30 second hold. Intensity of exercise will be prescribed according
