Effects of Proprioceptive Training in the Management of Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating conventional physiotherapy and Cervical proprioceptive training for Chronic Neck Pain. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It is a randomized control trial will be conducted at Federal Government Polyclinic hospital on 44 chronic mechanical neck pain patients. Patients will be recruited in the study through non probability purposive sampling. Random allocation will be done through toss coin method into two groups; Conventional Physiotherapy Control group (n=22) and Proprioceptive training Experimental group (n=22). Research data will be collected through structural questionnaires. Tools will be used to collect data are NPRS, NDI, Goniometer (Cervical ROMs) and proprioception.

Timeline
Interventions
1. TENS for 15 minutes on Constant Mode according to patient comfort. 2. Infrared for 15 minutes. 3. Isometric exercises: Isometric neck flexion, extension, side bending exercises were given. 3 sets of 10 repetitions each were given. And resistance was given for 6-8 seconds for each movement. 4. Stretching exercises: Passive stretching for Sternocleidomastoid, short sub occipital muscles, Trapezius \& Scalene, Pectoralis Major was given. 3 sets of 10 reps were given and each stretch was maintained for 10 seconds. 5. Home Plan: self stretches and isometrics. 6. Postural Education: posture correction in daily life activities in sitting, walking, lying.

The patients wearing a cap with a laser pointer attached to it were seated three feet away from the target A, B and C. Start Chart A with a 3 cm, chart B 2cm and chart C 1cm narrow pathway were presented to the patients. The time taken by the patient to complete the pathway without any error was noted.
