Summary

This randomized clinical trial will compare the effectiveness of ERGON Therapy combined with Muscle Energy Technique (MET) versus ERGON Therapy alone in patients with mechanical neck pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups. Both groups will receive conventional physiotherapy consisting of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), hot pack application, and cervical stretching exercises. The study will evaluate changes in pain intensity, cervical range of motion, and functional disability. The findings are expected to provide evidence regarding the added benefit of MET when combined with ERGON Therapy in the management of mechanical neck pain.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain Musculoskeletal

Interventions

OTHER

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (ERGON Technique) Muscle Energy Technique Conventional Physiotherapy

Participants in the experimental group will receive Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization using ERGON technique combined with Muscle Energy Technique. ERGON therapy will be applied to cervical soft tissues to improve tissue mobility and reduce pain. Muscle Energy Technique will be used to facilitate joint mobility and reduce muscular tightness. In addition, participants will receive conventional physiotherapy including Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), hot pack application, and cervical stretching exercises.

OTHER

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (ERGON Technique) Conventional Physiotherapy

Participants in the comparator group will receive Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization using ERGON technique alone. ERGON therapy will be applied to cervical soft tissues to improve tissue mobility and reduce pain. In addition, participants will receive the same conventional physiotherapy protocol including Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), hot pack application, and cervical stretching exercises.
