Summary

This study a randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of fasiatherapy versus facial manipulation on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic neck pain. A sample of 52 patients will be taken and divided into two groups each with 26 patients. Group A will receive DBM fasciatherapy along with conventional physical therapy while group B will receive fascial manipulation along with the conventional physical therapy protocol. The conventional physical therapy protocol will include hot pack, neck isometrics and stretches. The session will be around 45 to 60 min on each patient with three session per week on alternate days. A total of three-week treatment regime will be given to the patients and assessment of patient's pain, range of motion and function with NPRS (numeric pain rating scale), goniometry and NDI (neck disability index) will be done at the baseline, after the completion of treatment at three weeks and after 6 weeks to observe the long-term effects. The data will be analyzed using SPSS.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

DBM fasciatherapy+ conventional physical therapy

DBM fasciatherapy (3 sessions per day). It soft, deep and non-manipulative form of treatment that involves the application of gentle pressure while stretching the body's connective tissue. A specialized form of touch, somatic sense, and specific body movement protocols are the three steps involved in the fasciatherapy. + hot pack (10 min) + neck isometrics (neck flexion, extension, side bending) + neck stretches (neck flexors, extensors, side benders and rotation). A total of 45 min session three times a week on alternate days for three weeks

OTHER

fascial manipulation+ conventional physical therapy

Fascial manipulation (3 sessions per day). This technique involves the identification of specific, localized areas of the fascia with limited movements. Once it is identified, then a specific point on the fascia is targeted and through the appropriate manipulation of this precise part of the fascia, movement can be restored. + hot pack (10 min) + neck isometrics (neck flexion, extension, side bending) + neck stretches (neck flexors, extensors, side benders and rotation). A total of 45 min session three times a week on alternate days for three weeks
