Comparing Between Mulligan Technique and Active Release Technique in Treatment of Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain

Overview

This study will be conducted to compare between Mulligan mobilization technique and Active release technique in management of non-specific chronic neck pain as regard to neck pain, cervical range of motion and neck function.

Neck pain is the second leading cause of disability worldwide among people with musculoskeletal disorders , and neck pain is responsible for a substantial burden to society . Current guidelines advocate a multimodal approach including different types of exercise and manual therapy for managing non-specific neck pain and there is little evidence of what specific intervention of this multimodal approach is most beneficial. This means that there is a gap in literature regarding this point in general. If effectiveness of each intervention is clear, this will inform selection of individual components of the multimodal approach. 36 Subjects of both genders with a primary complaint of neck pain more than 12 weeks will participate in this study.Group A will receive only the conventional physical therapy program prescribed in the form of ( hot packs , stretching exercises, isometric strengthening exercises and postural correction exercises) .Group B: will receive combination of traditional treatment of neck pain and Mulligan mobilization technique.Group C:will receive combination of traditional treatment of neck pain and ART .
