Summary

The study compares Facet Oscillatory Mobilization and Mobilization with Movement in managing chronic mechanical neck pain, aiming to determine the effectiveness of these techniques in pain, range of motion, and disability.

Detailed description

This study will be Conducted as a randomized controlled trial, it will include 32 participants divided into two groups receiving different mobilization techniques along with conventional physical therapy. Outcome measures such as the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Inclinometer will be used to assess changes over a two-week intervention period with a follow-up after one month.

Conditions

• Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Mobilization with movement	Group A will receive Mobilization with movement in which therapist manually applies a gentle mobilizing force to the joint while the patient actively performs a movement (2 to 3 sets) 6 to 10 repetitions per set in sitting position. Conventional treatment (TENS (2 to 10 Hz),10 mints, Heating pad, stretching of tight muscles Trapezius and SCM)should be included.
OTHER	Facet joint oscillatory mobilization	Group B will receive Facet joint oscillatory mobilization on the cervical spine C2-C7 (6 to 10 repetitions in each session) in the sitting position.Conventional treatment (TENS (2 to 10 Hz) 10 mints, Heating pad, stretching of tight muscles Trapezius and SCM) should be included.
