Summary

Text neck syndrome is a common musculoskeletal disorder caused by prolonged smartphone and computer use, resulting in neck pain, forward head posture, and functional disability. Manual therapy techniques, including Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAG) and GONG's Mobilization, are frequently used to manage cervical dysfunction.

This quasi-experimental pretest-posttest comparative study aimed to compare the effectiveness of SNAG and GONG's Mobilization on pain intensity, craniovertebral angle, and neck disability in individuals with text neck syndrome. Participants divided into 2 groups (Treatment group A and B) were undergo baseline and post-intervention assessments followed a 12-week treatment program

Conditions

  • Text Neck Syndrome
  • Forward Head Posture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Moist Heat Therapy

A moist hot pack was applied to the cervical region for 10 minutes before the manual therapy intervention in both study groups

PROCEDURE

Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide (SNAG)

SNAG mobilization was applied to the cervical spine with 10-15 repetitions per session for approximately 20 minutes, 3 sessions per week on alternate days for 12 weeks

PROCEDURE

GONG's Mobilization

GONG's Mobilization was administered to the cervical spine using 10-15 repetitions per session for approximately 20 minutes, three sessions per week on alternate days for 12 weeks
