About

This study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in Polyclinic Hospital Islamabad & Rawal Dental and General Hospital Rawalpindi. A sample of 62 participants will be taken. Patients will be divided into two equal groups of 31 participants in each group, group Randomization will be done through flip coin method. Patients in group A will receive Maitland's antero-posterior Mobilization, while Patients in group B will receive Maitland's lateral mobilizations. 4 sessions of treatment will be given for 2 weeks with interval of 3 days, 4 days and 7 days between 1st & 2nd session, 2nd & 3rd session and 3rd & 4th session, respectively. The outcome measures will be OMRON Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS) and Global Rating of Change questionare will be measured at baseline and at the end of 4th session. Data will be analyzed by SPSS 25.
