An interventional study of Pressure biofeedback and Conventional exercises for deep cervical muscle training in Neck Pain, sponsored by Riphah International University. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 24 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-06-22.
Sponsored by Riphah International University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pressure biofeedback on deep cervical muscle in university teachers suffering from neck pain, Functional Disability and muscle endurance.
The purpose of this study will be to determine whether training of deep cervical flexor muscles with pressure biofeedback has any significant advantage over conventional training for pain and disability experienced by university teachers with neck pain. This study will be a randomized control trial with double blinded protocol. Patient will be randomly allocated in two groups. the experimental group received deep cervical flexor muscles training with pressure biofeedback and conventional exercises. The control group received deep cervical flexor muscles training with only conventional exercises.

Numeric pain rating Scale
Numeric pain rating scale used to determine pain intensity experienced by individuals. It consist of a horizontal or vertical line with total of 11 numbers,ranging from 0 to 10. Where 0 indicates no pain while 10 is the worst pain.

Inclinometer
It is an instrument used for measuring the angles of tilt,elevation and depression of an object with respect to gravity.
Time frame: 8th week
Cranio-cervical flexion test
It is a clinical test of the anatomical action of the deep cervical flexor muscles. It could be described as a test of neuromotor control. The features assessed are the activation and isometric endurance of the deep cervical flexors
