The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of conventional physical therapy with and without cervical proprioceptive training using head-mounted laser system on cervical joint position sense error, pain, cervical range of motion and neck disability index. Proprioception disturbs in any function and structural impairments that is mechanical neck pain. Different studies has been done to find out the best therapy for pain management. Aim of the researcher is to give cost-effective, not so time-consuming, most effective physical therapy treatment. A literature gap exists on the effects of proprioceptive training combined with conventional physical therapy, no studies have directly compared the effect of proprioceptive training using head-mounted laser with and without conventional physical therapy. In our clinical setting, proprioceptive training for mechanical neck pain is not used as much as it should be. It would be a new thing to add and it can be cost-effective and better treatment for symptoms resolution
