Experimental: Experimental Group A (Core Stability)
consists of 20 participants who receive core stability exercises, plus the traditional physical therapy program in the form of ischemic compression of upper trapezius muscle, strain-counter strain of upper trapezius muscle, and muscle energy technique of upper trapezius muscle, three sessions per week for 6 weeks.
|
The core stability exercise protocol will be conducted to experimental group (A), only. The core stability exercise protocol will be conducted for 40-45 minutes (10 minutes worm-up 'stretch exercises', 25 minutes core stabilization exercises, and 5-10 minutes cool down exercises 'stretch exercises') 3 sections/ week for six weeks 1. Diaphragm Core '';360 degree expansion breathing, weighted breathing 2. Transverse abdominis 'Abdominal drawing in maneuver, supine vacuum, pelvic tilt'; 3. Multifidus 'quadruped altered leg/arm, bridge with leg extension'; 4. Pelvic Floor muscles/Kegel, bridging, and bridging dog, and squat Core stability exercise.

|
Experimental: Experimental Group B (Scapular Stabilization)
consists of 20 participants who receive scapular stabilization exercise, plus the traditional physical therapy program, three sessions per week for 6 weeks.
|
The scapular stabilization exercise protocol will be conducted to experimental group (B), only. The core scapular stabilization exercise protocol will be conducted for 40-45 minutes (10 minutes worm-up 'stretch exercises', 25 minutes scapular stabilization exercises, and 5-10 minutes cool down exercises 'stretch exercises') 3 sections/ week for six weeks a. Open chain stabilization exercises 'scapular elevation/depression, upward/downward rotation', b. Static closed chain stabilization exercises 'Protected weight bearing through both hands leaning against wall', c. Dynamic closed chain stabilization exercises 'scapular retraction' |

Hand Grip Strength
Zeitfenster: 1. At Baseline (Pre-procedure), 2. Post-treatment (Post 6 weeks of treatment program).
|
Hand-held Dynamometer (SAMMONS PRESTON, INC.
Bolingbrook, IL604404989) will be used to measure it.
The patient will sit on a standard height chair with no armrest with his/ her forearm in a neutral position, and shoulder in adducted and neutral rotation, with elbow flexed 90 degrees (°).
The patient will be requested to squeeze the ipsilateral hand on the hand grip dynamometer handle accordingly to the ordered verbs 'i.e., one, two, three, squeeze…harder, harder'.
Three measures will be conducted with one minute a break in between, then the average will be recorded in value score.

1. At Baseline (Pre-procedure), 2. Post-treatment (Post 6 weeks of treatment program).
|
|
Pinch Grip Strength
Zeitfenster: 1. At Baseline (Pre-procedure), 2. Post-treatment (Post 6 weeks of treatment program).
|
The pinch gauge (FEI, White plains, NY 10602, USA) will be used to measure the pinch grip strength, it is a valid and reliable tool.
The patient will sit on a standard height chair with no armrest with his/ her shoulder, elbow, forearm, and wrist in a neutral position.
The patient will be requested to squeeze the thumb pad as firm as possible against the lateral aspect of index fingers' middle phalanx, while the examiner will hold the distal end of the pinch gauge.
Three measures will be conducted with one minute a break in between, then the average will be recorded in a score value.

Chronic Myofascial Neck Pain Intensity assessment using Numerical Pain Rating Scale:
Zeitfenster: 1. At Baseline (Pre-procedure), 2. Post-treatment (Post 6 weeks of treatment program).
|
Numerical Pain Rating Scale will be used to assess chronic myofascial neck pain intensity, The patient will be in a relaxed position then will be given the appendix which contains numerical pain rating scale.
It involves a 0-10 scale, where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents "the worst pain imaginable" The patient will be instructed to place a vertical mark on the line to indicate his/her pain.

1. At Baseline (Pre-procedure), 2. Post-treatment (Post 6 weeks of treatment program).

|
Pressure Pain Threshold using electronic pressure algometer
Zeitfenster: 1. At Baseline (Pre-procedure), 2. Post-treatment (Post 6 weeks of treatment program).
|
The electronic pressure algometer 'force one gauge model FDI' (Wagner instruments, Greenwash, CT, USA) will be used to measure it, it is a valid and reliable tool.
Over trigger point recognized via jump sign clinically, a dial-style pressure algometry will be installed while a steady vertical pressure will be applied.
When the patient reported only mild pain, the patient will be asked to raise hand to indicate it.
Three measures will be conducted with one minute a break in between, then average will be recorded in value.

1. At Baseline (Pre-procedure), 2. Post-treatment (Post 6 weeks of treatment program).

|
Whole Upper Extremity Functional Level using Arabic-Q-DASH scale
Zeitfenster: 1. At Baseline (Pre-procedure), 2. Post-treatment (Post 6 weeks of treatment program).
|
The whole upper extremity functional level will be evaluated using Arabic-Q-DASH it is a valid and reliable tool.
The Arabic-Q-DASH is like the original questionnaire.
Items have a rating scale ranged from 1 to 5. The patient will be instructed to place a score that the examiner will transform it into a value between 0 and 100.
The high score indicates better hand function outcomes with exception of pain, where high value indicates more intense pain score.
|
1. At Baseline (Pre-procedure), 2. Post-treatment (Post 6 weeks of treatment program).
