About

This study will be conducted to evaluate effect of sustained natural apophyseal glides and cervical manipulation in pain and disability of neck among wrestler players .All subjects will be selected between ages 18 to 35 years. Data will be collected from players in registered gujranwala wrestling clubs. Study design will be Randomized Clinical Trial. Neck pain disability index questionnaire and NPRS will be used to check the disability in neck and intensity of pain respectively. Informed consent will be taken from all participants.

Patients will be allocated randomly into two main groups. Group A is the interventional group and group B is the control group. On group A snag will be performed and Group B will be provided by cervical manipulation to compare the effects of both techniques. SPSS will be used for data entry and analysis.

Full description

The main aim of the study is to compare the effects of sustained natural apophyseal glides versus cervical manipulation on pain and disability in Nonspecific acute neck pain among wrestlers. Acute neck pain and disabilities are most common among wrestlers. Different studies occur on snags and mobilizations on various athletes but there is a literature gap between comparison of Snags and cervical manipulation in neck disabilities.
