Brief summary (from the registry)
This Randomized Clinical Trial will be conducted at Riphah Rehabilitation and Research Center and spans 4 weeks. Non-probability Convenient sampling will be used to collect the data. A sample size of 40 subjects with age group between 18-45 years will be taken. Data will be collected from patients who use electronic gadgets and have present complaints of mechanical neck pain. Outcome measures will be taken using the Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) for pain, Neck Disability Index (NDI) for disability, Goniometer for Range of motion, and Kinovea software for shoulder, eye, and craniovertebral angle measurement. Subjects will be selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be equally divided into two groups by random number generator table. The first assessment will be conducted physically and after that, both groups will receive treatment via MS teams under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Both the Groups will receive Hot Pack, and baseline treatment (neck isometrics, upper trapezius and scalene stretches), while Group A will receive multimodal exercises (chin tucks, bilateral pectoral stretching, scapular region strengthening exercises, and Wand exercises) and Group B will receive Bruegger's relief exercise. Outcome measures will be measured at baseline and after 4 weeks. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25.
