Abstract
Abstract: Pain in the neck can be more than just a hassle. The objectives of this study were to determine and compare the role of Maitland mobilization and stretching exercises along hot pack therapy in both groups. Total 30 subjects were selected and divided into group A & B sample was collected through simple random sampling with chronic cervical pain and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The treatment was gives as: Group A: Maitland mobilization of cervical spine along with hot pack. Group B: Cervical stretching exercises along with hot pack. This study was a comparative experimental study and it used assessment form, consent form, examination couch, Goniometer, Visual Analogue Scale, Neck Disability Index Scale and Hot pack. Patients were evaluated for their pain profile using VAS, their ROM using the Goniometer and neck disability using NDIS. Time Frame for this study and data collection was one year and the source of data was Liaquat National Hospital Physiotherapy Out Patients Department, Karachi, Pakistan. Pre and post treatment parameters were collected on assessment form and later evaluated further on SPSS 21 through independent sample T-test. The results indicated that both techniques produced a hypoalgesic effect as revealed by improved NDIS and decreased VAS. Both the techniques when compared with each other with respect to post treatment NDIS, VAS and ROM, showed significance difference (VAS P= 0.012, NDIS P= 0.042, Cervical Ranges < 0.05).The combination of all findings has supported the use of Maitland technique in chronic cervical pain.
