Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of scapular stabilization program on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with chronic non- specific neck pain. This study will be a randomized controlled trial and 28 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. they will be allocated into 2 groups using non- probability purposive sampling technique. Experimental group will receive relaxation exercises for the cervico-scapular region combined with SSP(scapular stabilization program). The Control group will receive relaxation exercises only. Outcome measure: Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Goniometer, and Neck Disability Index will measure pain, range of motion, and disability. The experimental group will receive a total of 45 minutes sessions, thrice a week on alternate days for 3 weeks. The Control group will receive relaxation exercises in cervico-scapular region including neck stretches, stretches of scapular muscles, and myofascial release 3 times a week for 3 weeks on alternate days. Measurements will be taken at the baseline, at the end of 3rd week and for long term effects follow- up at 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 20.

Relaxation Exercises and Scapular Stabilization exercise program

Scapular Stabilization Program (3 sets of 10 reps each/day). This exercise program is for muscles affecting scapular alignment due to chronic neck pain. A specialized program of non-resistive scapular upward rotation, wall facing arm lift, backward rolling arm lift, overhead arm raise, shoulder abduction in scapular plane above 120˚, shoulder shrugs, levator scapulae and pectoralis minor stretching. Hot pack (10 min) and relaxation exercises including myofascial release and stretching of neck and scapular region muscles. A total of 45 minutes session three times a week on alternate days for 3 weeks. Assessment will be done at baseline, on the end of 3rd week and for long-term effects at the end of 6th week.

OTHER

Relaxation Exercises of cervico- scapular region

Relaxation exercises of the cervico-scapular region including neck stretches of scapular muscles and myofascial release will be given to patients three times a week on alternate days for 3 weeks. Assessment will be done at baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and for long-term effects at the end of the 6th week.
