Summary

Mechanical neck pain (MNP) is a common condition that affects all aging groups. MNP has a huge physical, psychological and economic impact. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of magnetic therapy (MT) with exercise versus exercise therapy on neck pain, proprioception, balance, and function in older patients with chronic MNP. Materials \& Method: 50 male and female patients with chronic MNP, their ages will range from 56 years and above. They will be allocated from different physiotherapy departments. Eligible participants will be equally randomized into two groups. Group-I: 25 patients will practice the exercise training program in addition to receiving pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) (experimental arm). Group-II: 25 patients will practice the exercise program.

All participants will receive three sessions every week for four weeks. The primary outcomes are pain (Visual Analogue Scale VAS) and balance (Single leg stance time test SLST, Tinetti balance assessment, and Timed Up and Go TUG). The secondary outcomes are the Neck Disability Index (NDI), cervical range of motion (CROM), cervical joint position sense error (JPSE), and quality of life QOL SF-36 questionnaire. Measurements will be taken before the first session, after two weeks, and after the last session.

DEVICE

Electromagnetic Field therapy with an exercise program

1. The magnetic field is generated through a mattress that is connected to the device. The maximum program, program 4, for 20 minutes with an intensity of 35 microtesla (level 10) and 50-60 Hz. the patient was lying on the mattress in a supine position. 2. the exercise program included postural correction strengthening exercises, stretching, proprioception and balance training
