This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cervical rotatory manipulation for treating mechanical neck pain. A minimum of 30 subjects will be divided into two groups - group A will receive cervical rotatory manipulation along with other treatments, while group B will only receive other treatments. Both groups will receive 5 treatment sessions over 8 days. Pain, disability, and range of motion measurements will be taken before, during, and after treatment to analyze the impact of cervical rotatory manipulation for mechanical neck pain.

1. ABSTRACT
EFFECT OF CERVICAL ROTATORY MANIPULATION ON PAIN,
DISABILITY AND RANGE OF MOTION IN PATIENTS WITH
MECHANICAL NECK PAIN

SUPERVISOR- Dr.Anish Raj, MPT (Osteomyeology), Assistant professor, DAVIPTR,

INTRODUCTION- Mechanical neck pain is a common occurrence in the general
population resulting in a considerable economic burden. Neck pain may arise due to
muscular tightness (physical and emotional), prolonged postures, over use, minor
injuries and falls. Mechanical neck and back pain implies the source of pain in the spine
or its supporting structures.
OBJECTIVES-The aim of my study is to study the effectiveness of the cervical rotatory
manipulation on pain, disability and range of motion for the treatment of the mechanical
neck pain.
METHODOLOGY- The duration of study will be one and a half year. Minimum of 30
subjects will be selected for the study. They will be assigned into two groups: A and B
by convenience sampling. The treatment of group A will be cervical rotatory
manipulation, central PA mobilization, ultrasound and home exercises. For group B
treatment will be central PA Mobilization, ultrasound and home exercises. Each group
will be given 5 treatment sessions in 8 days. The readings of NDI, VAS and ROM for
Right and Left Rotation, Flexion and Extension on 1st
(Pre), 3rd
(Post) and 5th
(Post)
session.
DATA ANALYSIS- Data analysis will be performed using the appropriate software.
KEY WORDS: Mechanical Neck Pain, Cervical Rotatory Manipulation, Central PA
Mobilization.
