What this trial studies
This study investigates the impact of McKenzie exercises, both with and without Mulligan mobilization, on adults suffering from text neck syndrome. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, receiving eight treatment sessions over four weeks. The study will assess changes in pain, disability, and craniocervical angle using validated measurement tools. Data analysis will involve various statistical methods to compare outcomes between the two intervention groups.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-35 who use smartphones for more than 5 hours a day and have experienced neck pain for over three months.
Not a fit: Patients with a history of neck surgery, spinal infections, or specific spinal disorders may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide effective non-invasive treatment options for individuals suffering from text neck syndrome.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with similar exercise interventions for neck pain, suggesting potential success for this approach.
