Abstract
BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION: Neck pain is a frequent and disabling complaint in general population. One of the most common causes of neck pain is mechanical dysfunction of cervical spine. Although diverse methods have been proposed for increasing cervical range of motion, joint mobilization has been confirmed as effective in several studies. The current study will compare the effect of two different treatment protocols i.e., Mulligan mobilization and Pilates programme along with conventional physiotherapy treatment patients with chronic neck pain. This study tries to find out new effective method for reducing the problem of pain. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY: To compare the efficacy of Mulligan mobilization technique and Pilates programme on outcome measures of subjects with chronic neck pain. METHOD: 32 subjects were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups: Mulligan mobilization, Pilates programme along with conventional physiotherapy. Treatment was given 3 sessions a week for three weeks. Pain, functional disability and ROM were assessed by Numerical Pain Radiating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Universal Goniometer. paired "t" test and independent "t" test were used. RESULTS: After three week protocol it was found that all the two groups showed significant improvement in NPRS, ROM and NDI score within the group. The present finding shows that Group A (Mulligan) shows significant improvements in the flexion and right cervical rotation of range of motion than group B (Pilates). CONCLUSION: The present study shows that Mulligan mobilization and Pilates programme along with conventional physiotherapy aids in treating the pain, range of motion and functional disability of patients with chronic neck pain.
