Egypt40 participantsStarted 2024-11-05

Plain-language summary

This study will be aimed to answer the following questions: Which technique, MET or MMT, is more effective in reducing pain, increasing range of motion (ROM), improving proprioception, and enhancing functional ability in individuals with CS? It will be assumed that: 1. All participants will adhere to study instructions and procedures. 2. All participants will be evaluated under standardized conditions.

✓. All participants will be assessed and referred by orthopedic surgeons before starting the study.
✓. Mechanical neck pain localized to the cervical.
✓. Neck pain lasting more than 3 months, local tenderness of the upper fibers of the trapezius, limitation in cervical ROM and muscle spasm.
✓. Moderate pain intensity (45-74 mm on VAS).
