About this study
This study was conducted to see the effect of proprioceptive exercises on pain and function in Non-specific chronic neck pain.
Twenty participants with chronic Non-specific neck pain were enrolled in this study. During the final week of treatment, 14 patients were assessed at the end of the sixth treatment week. Participants were randomized into two groups treatment group and control group. Both groups were treated with conventional treatment which were strengthening exercises. Treatment group was also treated by proprioception exercises. For measurement of pain and disability NPRS and NDI scales were used. Exercise regime distributed in six weeks period one session per week exercise, 10-12 repetitions with 1-minute rest interval, lasted 45 minutes in both groups. pre-treatment and post-treatment measurements were taken.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
proprioceptive exercisesOther
proprioception exercises included (a)Head relocation it involve the practice of relocating head back to natural head posture and to predetermined positions in range first with eyes open using feedback from a laser attached to their head and then with closed all active movement of cervical flexion extension lateral flexion and rotations were used.(b)Gaze stability oculomotor exercises commencing with eyes movement with the head stationary ,progressing to movement of head with visual fixation on a target. (c) Eye head coordination exercises, commenced with rotation of eyes and head to the same side in both right and left directions. Then progressed with both eyes and head move in opposite direction
Strengthening exerciseOther
strengthening exercises which are performed with prone and supine position by placing a towel under head, press towel for 5 seconds with 10-12 repetitions ,one set in a week for six weeks for cervical muscles

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Numerical pain rating scale
11 point numeric scale ranges from 0 representing one pain extreme(no pain)to 10 representing the other pain extreme severity
Measured: 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
NECK DISABILITY INDEX
NDI is ten item questionnaire based on Oswestry low back pain that assess disability associated with neck pain and whiplash. There are four items that relate to symptoms(pain intensity ,headache, concentration ,sleeping)and six items that relate daily activities of life(lifting, work, driving, recreation, personal care, reading) 5-14 score :mild disability,15-24 score moderate disability,25-34 score severe disability,>35 complete disable
Measured: 6 weeks
