Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two therapeutic techniques-Cervical Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide (SNAG) and Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)-in the treatment of mechanical neck pain. The trial seeks to determine which method is more effective in reducing pain, improving range of motion, and enhancing overall neck function in individuals suffering from mechanical neck pain.

Conditions

  • Mechanical Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Cervical SNAGS (C3-C7) + Conventional PT

Cervical SNAGS at C3-C7 with active movements of lateral flexion and rotation with overpressure at the end range. .Frequency: 10 reps 3 times/week for 3 consecutive weeks Intensity: starting from 20% to 50% resistance across barrier provided by Physical therapist Conventional PT including 1-hot pack for 10 minutes 2-Cervical Stretchings for levator scapulae and sternocleidomastoid 3-cervical isometric exercises, 4. Cervical Range of motion exercises

OTHER

IASTM (ergon) + Conventional PT

IASTM, ergon applied at levator scapulae and sternocleidomastoid muscle, with 30 strokes at an angle. After that icing done at the levator scapulae and sternocleidomastoid muscle for 5-10 minutes using cold pack.
