Effectiveness of Routine Physical Therapy With and Without Thoracic Mobility Exercises in Chronic Neck Pain

Effectiveness of Routine Physical Therapy With and Without Thoracic Mobility Exercises in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain

There is a limited data available on the effectiveness of thoracic mobility exercises in chronic neck pain and there is a need to determine these exercises in chronic neck pain because chronic neck pain has significant effects on the surrounding muscles of the neck and cervical spine and along with the muscles of shoulder and arm. So the mobility exercises of any region around the neck area can reduce neck pain because these structures are interlinked anatomically and functionally aspects.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change in Neck Disability Index Questionnaire	The Neck Disability Index is a modification of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index . It is a patient-completed, condition-specific functional status questionnaire with 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. The Neck Disability Index has sufficient support and usefulness to retain its current status as the most commonly used self-report measure for neck painç maximum Score is 50. 0 - 4 = no disability 5 - 14 = mild 15 - 24 = moderate 25 - 34 = severe above 34 = complete.	8 week
Visual Analogue Scale	To determine the change in pain of patients. Total score is 10. Higher the score, Greater the pain.	8 week
