Summary

This project was a Randomized control trial conducted to check the effects of Cervical Stabilization Exercises on Respiratory Strength in Chronic Neck Pain Patients with Forward Head Posture, duration of study was of 6 months, convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from Jinnah Hospital Lahore, were randomly allocated in two groups via lottery method, baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given baseline treatment protocol for 4 weeks which included 3 sessions per week. Heating Pad applied for 15 min and TENS (Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation) for 10 min. After that Cervical isometric exercises performed in sitting (10sec hold, 10 to 15 reps). Group B was experimental group and participants were given baseline treatment in addition to Cervical Stabilization exercises for 4 weeks which included 3 sessions per week. The baseline measurement was taken on day one for Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRPS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI). Forward head posture assessed by measuring Cranio Vertebral Angle (CVA). Respiratory muscle strengths measured by Spirometer and SBC (single breath count). All the measurements repeated at the end of fourth week. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20.

Interventions

OTHER

baseline physical therapy treatment

Group A was control group and the patients received Conventional treatment protocol for 4 weeks which included 3 sessions per week. Patients received hot pack for 15 min and TENS (Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation) for 10 min. After that Cervical isometric exercises will be performed in sitting (10sec hold,10 to 15 reps)

OTHER

Cervical Stabilization exercises

Group B was experimental group and received baseline physiotherapy treatment in addition to Cervical Stabilization exercises. Pillow was placed beneath cervical spine in supine position and guided patients to nod head as though they said 'yes' and asked them to hold for 10 seconds. 10 repetitions were done before progressing to the next target level. 4 weeks (3 sessions per week) * Hot pack: 10 min * TENS: 10 min * Cervical isometric exercises in sitting (10sec hold,10 to 15 reps) * Cervical Stabilization exercises (10 sec hold, 10 reps) On eligible participants baseline assessment was taken on day 1, post intervention assessment was taken at the end of 4th week.
