About this study
Official title: Comparison of Gong's Mobilization and Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide on Pain and Range of Motion in Office Workers With Cervical Spine Overload
Neck pain is a frequent and disabling complaint in the general population. One of the most common causes of neck pain is mechanical dysfunction of the cervical spine. Although diverse methods have been proposed for increasing cervical range of motion (ROM), joint mobilization has been confirmed as effective in several studies. Typically, joint mobilization methods for increasing cervical ROM include spinal manipulative therapy, the activator and diversified techniques. There are different mobilization techniques for neck pain, and mulligan's technique is one of them. It has two techniques Sustain Natural Apophyseal Glides (snags) and Natural Apophyseal Glides (nags). Gong's mobilization technique helps to heal physical pain as well as distract the mind from stress. In this study, the effectiveness of gong's mobilization and Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (snags) will be compared in office workers who have problems with cervical posture and range of motion (ROM) in order to examine the effects of gong's mobilization on cervical pain and cervical ROM. Twenty office workers with problems of cervical posture, pain and ROM is divided into a gong's mobilization group (n=10) and a Snags group (n=10). Gong's mobilization and nags will be administered three times a week for four weeks to each respective group and then changes in cervical posture, pain and cervical ROM will be evaluated.

NPRS The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Measured: 4 weeks
Function
Item scores range from 0 to 5, and the total score is a total of the item scores (possible range 0 (no pain) - 100 (maximal pain)

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
universal Goniometer (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05021458, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Apr 2022.
