Abstract
Background and Objectives: In routine life style various causes traumatic, inflammation, degenerative changes alters the biomechanics of cervical spine produce chronic neck pain, reduce the active ROM, reduce functional mobility and produce disability in neck. There for the present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of HVLAT manipulation with muscle energy technique versus muscle energy technique alone in subjects with chronic neck pain as assessed by VAS, ROM, NDI and PSFS.
Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial study was done and 120 subjects with diagnosis of chronic neck pain mean age 18-45 years both male and female were included in the study. Group A received HVLAT manipulation and Muscle Energy Technique and Group B received Muscle Energy Technique alone. The outcome was assessed in terms of Visual analog scale (VAS), active cervical ROM, Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) at baseline and immediately post intervention.The intervention was given once and each session lasts for 15-30 minutes. Data was analyzed by Paired and Unpaired T Test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, Mann Whitney U Test.
Results: Data analysis and results showed that both the groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements in pain, range of motion, reduction in disability scores and improvement in patient specific functions (P<0.05) following intervention.
Conclusion: The combined therapy of HVLAT manipulation with Muscle Energy Techniques showed superior results as compared to the groups receiving Muscle Energy Techniques alone.
