“…It was reported that PIR and RI partially explain the benefits of MET (11), which are relatively pain-free joint and soft tissue motion after mild isometric contractions (12). The NSE is a form of a rehabilitation program that was developed for the purpose of relieving pain, improving function, preventing further injury (13) as well as improving the innate mechanisms by which the cervical spine keep up a stable and injury-free state (14).…”

Background: Neck pain is one of the most common and painful musculoskeletal conditions. It is a problem in societies probably due to the widespread use of electronic gadgets such as computers, mobile phones, and tablets. It causes pain, functional disability, depression, and sleep disturbances. Therapeutic exercises have been known to be one of the major interventions to improve chronic neck pain.Objectives: This randomized controlled study aimed to compare the efficacy of muscle energy technique (MET) and neck stabilization exercise (NSE) on pain, neck disability, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain (NSCNP). Methods:Thirty-five participants participated in this study. They were recruited from two hospitals in Lagos state and randomly assigned into 3 groups using computer-generated random number sequence. Group 1 (n = 12) received MET, neck care education (NCE), and infra-red radiation (IR), group 2 (n = 12) received NSE, neck care education (NCE), and IR, and group 3 (n = 11) received NCE and IR. Assessment of pain, neck disability, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance were done using numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), neck disability index (NDI), hospital anxiety depression scale (HADS) and Insomnia severity index (ISI) at baseline, end of 4 weeks and 8 weeks post-intervention. This study lasted for a period of 5 months (May -September, 2017). Results:The participants in the 3 groups (MET+NCE+IR, NSE+NCE+IR, NCE+IR) indicated significant improvement in all the outcome parameters; pain (P = 0.001, 0.001, 0.001, respectively), disability (P = 0.002, P = 0.002, P = 0.003, respectively), depression (P = 0.02, 0.002, 0.003, respectively), anxiety (P = 0.01, P = 0.002, P = 0.03, respectively), and sleep disturbance (P = 0.01, P = 0.002, P = 0.01, respectively) post-intervention. Significant differences were observed in all outcome parameters except for depression (P = 0.456) and anxiety (P = 0.179) when across group comparisons were performed. Conclusions:Muscle energy technique and neck stabilization exercises and neck care are all effective in managing pain, neck disability, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance in NSCNP patients, but neck stabilization exercises have a better effect than a muscle energy technique.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyze the impacts of the scapular stabilization program (SSP) on pain, range of motion (ROM), and disability in chronic non-specific neck pain (NNP). Methods: It was a randomized clinical trial. The study was conducted at University Medical Centre, Lahore. According to eligibility criteria, 28 participants were randomly allocated to the experimental and control groups through the lottery method. While the control group received only relaxation exercises, the experimental group received SSP exercises along with the relaxation exercises on the cervicoscapular region. Three sessions of 45 min each, three times/week, on alternating days for three weeks were given. The outcome measures for pain, ROM, and disability were the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), goniometer, and neck disability index (NDI), respectively. These were assessed before the intervention and at the end of the third week. Results: The mean age of Groups A and B was 24.76 ± 4.53 and 27.76 ± 4.62, respectively. Within-group analysis of NPRS, NDI, and cervical flexion and extension ROM showed significant improvement in both groups. Between-group analysis showed post-treatment NPRS (P = 0.000), NDI (P = 0.000), cervical flexion (P = 0.004), and extension (P = 0.000). A significant improvement (P < 0.05) in pain, disability, and flexion and extension was observed in the experimental group. Conclusion: Both groups showed improved outcomes, but a significant difference was found in the control and experiment groups. The trial concluded that in treating NNP, the SSP effectively alleviates pain and improves disability and mobility.
