Brief Summary:
This project was a pilot randomized trial conducted to compare the effects of Kendall exercise and Gong's mobilization on pain, range of motion, function and strength in text neck syndrome so that we can have best treatment option for patients with neck pain

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Neck Pain Other: Kendall exercise Other: Gong's mobilization Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Non Probability Convenient sampling was done. Patients following eligibility criteria from Fatima hospital Sargodha were considered. Sample size was calculated 12.

Participants were randomly allocated in two groups equally via convenient sampling method. Baseline assessment was done initially. Group A was given Kendall exercise and Group B was given Gong's mobilization along with conventional physiotherapy treatment (hot pack). Duration of research was almost 6 months. Participants were treated 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Pre and Post treatment readings were taken in 1st session and 4th week period respectively.

Assessment was done via Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS),Neck Disability index (NDI), Universal goniometer and Modified sphygmomanometer test. All participants were provided written informed consent prior to commencement of the procedures. They were free to quit the treatment at any stage of research. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 23.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Kendall exercise
Experimental group 1 got this intervention containing Kendall exercise for 15-20 mins, followed by conventional physiotherapy treatment (hot pack).Participants were treated 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Pre and Post treatment readings were taken in 1st session and 4th week respectively. Assessment was done via Numeric pain rating scale, neck disability index, universal goniometer and modified sphygmomanometer test.
 Other: Kendall exercise
consist of stretch of pectoralis major and neck extensor strengthening of deep neck flexors and scapular retractor
Experimental: Gong's mobilization
Experimental group 1 got this intervention containing Gong's mobilization for 15-20 mins, followed by conventional physiotherapy treatment (hot pack).Participants were treated 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Pre and Post treatment readings were taken in 1st session and 4th week respectively. Assessment was done via Numeric pain rating scale, neck disability index, universal goniometer and modified sphygmomanometer test.
 Other: Gong's mobilization
it is combination of glide along the facet joint and concurrent movement of cervical spine
