Summary

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

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.

Conditions

• Chronic Non-specific Neck Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises	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.
OTHER	Conventional physical therapy	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.
