About

This study aims to determine the effects of holistic spinal fascial mobilization on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic neck pain so that we can have the best treatment option for patients with chronic neck pain, the duration will be 10 months, purposive sampling will be done, subject following eligibility criteria from bahawal Victoria hospital Bahawalpur, were allocated in two groups, a baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given conventional treatment along with fascial mobilization, Group B participants were given conventional treatment, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Neck Disability Index(NDI) and Goniometry for a range of motion,3 sessions per week were given, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.

Full description

Chronic neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders among the general population. Like a muscular spasm of the neck that can cause neck pain, fascial adhesions are also a common cause of neck pain. Fascia is a form of connective tissue that is made up of collagen, surrounds the body parts, and also resists tissue tensile load. There is huge literature regarding the management of neck pain and yet after decades of research, there are gaps in treatment options. In the modern age of health care, it is a common goal of every health care to make patients self-sufficient as early as possible. The self-care models have tremendous advantages. The current study aims to determine the effects of holistic spinal fascial mobilization on pain, range of motion, and function in patients with chronic neck pain. All treatment methods were employed to see if they improve the ranges accompanying pain and disability.
