An interventional study of Muscle Specific Post Isometric Relaxation MET and Movement Specific Post Isometric Relaxation MET in Neck Pain, sponsored by Foundation University Islamabad. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 19 Years to 44 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-10-01.
Sponsored by Foundation University Islamabad · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
the purpose of this study is to compare the effects of muscle-specific muscle energy technique and movement-specific muscle energy technique in terms of pain, function and cervical range of motion in persons with mechanical neck pain.
1,232 studies on the registry are indexed under Neck Pain; 255 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 66 is above the median of 52 across 1,004 interventional studies indexed under Neck Pain.

Exclusion Criteria:
History of fracture, surgery or trauma in the neck Cervical radiculopathy Myelopathy Spondylosis Syringomyelia Thoracic outlet syndrome Infection Malignancy Inflammatory or rheumatic disorders Vascular syndromes
Procedure: Muscle Specific Post Isometric Relaxation MET · Procedure: unilateral postero-anterior glide · Procedure: Heating and TENS
Procedure: Movement Specific Post Isometric Relaxation MET · Procedure: unilateral postero-anterior glide · Procedure: Heating and TENS
3-5 reps of Post Isometric Relaxation MET targeted at muscles of the neck prone to get short
3-5 reps of Post Isometric Relaxation MET targeted at specific movements of the cervical spine
3 sets of unilateral posteroanterior glide (10-15 oscillations) at the involved segment
Heating and TENS for 10 minutes
Visual Analogue Scale
Pain will be measured using Visual Analogue Scale, with greater score signifying greater pain
Time frame: 5 days
Neck Disability Index
Function and neck related disability will be measured using Neck Disability Index, with greater score signifying greater disability and poorer outcome
Time frame: 5 days
Cervical Range of Motion
Cervical Range of Motion will be measured using a universal goniometer, with greater score signifying more favorable outcome
Time frame: 5 days
