Effects of Autogenic and Reciprocal Inhibition Techniques With Conventional Therapy in Mechanical Neck Pain- A Randomized Control Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 80 (actual)
• Sponsor: Dow University of Health Sciences · Academic / Other

• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The objective of this randomized control trial is to determine the effectiveness of Autogenic and Reciprocal Inhibition techniques with conventional therapy in mechanical neck pain to improve Pain, Range of Motion, and Functional Disability in long term. This study is being conducted at the Physiotherapy department of Sindh Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Karachi (former institute of Dow University of Health Sciences) among 80 patients with mechanical neck pain on the basis of non-probability purposive sample technique with screening for study criteria through a consultant physician (blinded) . After taking informed consent all participants will be randomly allocated in two groups through second researcher who is not involved in screening, baseline assessment and providing intervention. Group 1 will receive Autogenic Inhibition muscle energy technique (MET) with conventional therapy and Group 2 will receive Reciprocal inhibition MET with conventional therapy. A total of 12 sessions will be provided. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, after 1st session, and at last session.

Conditions

• Mechanical Neck Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Autogenic Inhibition MET	If a sub-maximal contraction of the muscle is followed by stretching of the same muscle it is known as Autogenic Inhibition MET.
OTHER	Reciprocal Inhibition MET	If a submaximal contraction of a muscle is followed by stretching of the opposite muscle then this is known as Reciprocal Inhibition MET.
