Comparative Effects of Myofascial Decompression and Positional Release Therapies in Chronic Non-specific Neck Pain

Brief summary (from the registry)

Nonspecific neck pain is defined as a neck pain not attributable to an identifiable, known specific pathology. The frequency of neck pain as found to be 84% which is exceptionally high and these are the majority of the individuals with neck pain that present to physiotherapy. In many cases, various factors contribute to the development of non-specific neck pain. These might include physical strain at work, such as working on something above you or sitting at a desk without moving enough. Emotional stress, like worries and anxiety about family or work, often plays an important role. It is thought that in some cases the cause may be an over-stretch (sprain) of a ligament or muscle. In other cases the cause may be a minor problem with a disc between two spinal bones (vertebrae), or a minor problem with a small facet joint between two vertebrae. Objective of this study will be to compare the effects of myofascial decompression and positional release therapies on pain, range of motion and functional disability in chronic nonspecific neck pain.
