Summary

purpose of the study: to determine the effectiveness of cervical mobilization with PIR in reducing pain and improving neck ROM and function in people with mechanical neck pain associated with MTrPs

Conditions

  • Mechanical Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Post Isometric relaxation Technique (PIR)

In PIR intervention, the patients were requested to lie down in a supine position and their neck was in a lateral flexion to the opposite side so that the target upper Trapezius muscle fibers would be in a lengthened position. The therapist performed a moderate isometric contraction (approximately 75% of maximal) of upper Trapezius muscles, held it for 5 seconds, then relaxed for 3 seconds before moving the cervical spine into the new barrier. In each session, this technique was repeated for four times, on alternate days for three weeks.

OTHER

Cervical Mobilization (CM)

Cervical Mobilization was delivered in prone lying with their foreheads resting comfortably on his hands, and the chin was tucked in.The treatment session was done on alternate days (3 days a week) for 3 weeks, hence the total number of sessions were 9.

OTHER

conventional treatment

Hot Pack was given for twenty minutes, slow sustained stretching exercises ( 20 second hold, 10-second relaxation) were given, and isometric exercise of the neck((10 repetitions of two sets with 10 seconds hold) alternate days for three weeks.
