About this trial

Purposes of the study

To investigate the effect of adding Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises to conventional physical therapy in patients with Chronic Non-Specific Neck Pain

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Thirty-four patients diagnosed CNSNP.

Age of the patients between 20-40 years.

Non-specific neck pain started more than 3 months.

Reduce ventilatory function; FVC >= 70% from predicted.

Disqualifiers

History of whiplash injury.

Clinical sign of cervical radiculopathy.

Clinical signs of cervical myelopathy.

Rheumatoid Arthritis or any other autoimmune diseases.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises

    Other intervention

    The patient will wear a neck harness, and a weight equivalent to 90% of the patient's measured maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) will be attached to it.

  • Conventional physical therapy

    Other intervention

    Conventional physical therapy consisting of TENS for pain control, soft tissue release for the cervical and associated muscles, activation and strengthening exercises for the deep neck flexors, extensors, and scapular muscles, as well as diaphragmatic breathing exercises.

Treatment groups

34 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Cervical High-Intensity Resistive Exercises + Conventional physical therapyExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: Conventional physical therapyActive comparator 1 intervention
