Summary

The purpose of my research is to compare the effects of dry needling and Maitland mobilization in chronic myofacial neck pain

Detailed description

To distinguish which technique is most effective in pain reduction and range gain because in chronic cases there is involvement of fascia, muscles and joints due to prolonged stress on any of the component affecting the other. Hence, the study will help to design a treatment plan with more accurate intervention. After sample collection according to selection criteria treatment sessions will be given to both groups for 6 weeks. Data will be collected at baseline, then after 2 weeks, 4 weeks and at 8th week. Tools for data collection are Visual analogue scale, Neck Disability Index and Goniometer. For statistical analysis SPSS 22 will be used. Intra group difference will be calculated by repeated measurement ANOVA / Friedman test and inter group analysis will be done by Independent sample t test. Descriptive data will be expressed in terms of frequency and proportions.
