Summary

The study was conducted to determine the comparative effects of an eye-cervical re-education and motor control training program on pain, range of motion and functional disability in chronic neck pain

Conditions

  • Chronic Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Eye-cervical Re-education Program

Eye-cervical Re-education program was carried out consisting of 10 proprioceptive reprogramming intervention steps : Activation of eye muscles, Passive cervical mobilization with fixed gaze, Active cervical mobility with directed gaze , Global cervical motion exercise , Neck mobility with the trunk , Head reposition exercise (Active), Head reposition exercise (Passive), Free coordination exercise, Manual resistance coordination exercise and Oculo-cervical coordination with soft stimuli. All exercises were done ten times each. 24 sessions were conducted for 8 weeks, with 3 sessions scheduled every week.

OTHER

Motor Control Training Program

Motor Control Training Program was performed in supine position. It consisted of four parts, which include the cranio-cervical flexor exercise; co-contraction of neck flexors and extensors; the cranio-cervical extensor exercise; and the scapular re-education exercises. An air-filled cuff was put behind the neck and the patient tried to make five progressive positions with an increase in ROM i.e. to make improvements in pressure of 22, 24, 26, 28 and eventually 30 mmHg on pressure gauge. All exercises were done ten times each. 24 sessions were conducted for 8 weeks, with 3 sessions scheduled every week.

OTHER

Standardized Physiotherapy Treatment

Electric Hot pack and TENS having (200 µs pulse-width, 1Hz frequency) were applied for 10 minutes.
