Effects of muscle energy techniques versus corrective exercise programme on pain, range of motion and function in patients with upper cross syndrome: A randomized clinical trial. 2021-06-19 anticipated 50 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/58356 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be randomly allocated in two experimental groups by computer generated table number. After randomization, opaque sealed envelope will be offered to the patients. The treatment will be provided according to the group mention on the envelope. Group A will be treated with routine physiotherapy program combined with muscle energy techniques (METS) Group B will be treated with routine physiotherapy program combined with National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) based protocol, Blinding description: A single blinded randomized clinical trial study will be carried out on patients having neck pain secondary to upper cross syndrome. Patients will be recruited from Department of Physiotherapy, University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Lahore. They will be assessed on selection criteria and eligible participants will be randomly allocated into two groups, using sealed enveloped method. Patients will be treated three times a week for total 8 weeks. After allocation in groups, participants will be assessed at baseline. Afterwards data will be collected at 4-week intervals until the conclusion of 8-week of interventions. For assessing long term effects of treatment protocol patients will be reassessed at 4-week interval after last treatment session. All assessments will be performed by the same assessor at all stages of data collection for all patients. 2-3 Upper Cross Syndrome. Intervention 1: Intervention group: 1( Routine physical therapy + Muscle Energy Techniques). Intervention 2: Intervention group: (Routine physical therapy + National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) based exercise programme). Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: EFFECTS OF MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUES VERSUS CORRECTIVE EXERCISE PROGRAMME ON PAIN, RANGE OF MOTION AND FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH UPPER CROSS SYNDROME: A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL When: After publication of article the data will be available To whom: The data will be available to all kinds of Academic researchers. Conditions: A request can be processed by the study sponsor or by a delegate of the sponsor (e.g., an academic institution).

Timepoint: Patients will be treated three times a week for total 8 weeks. After allocation in groups, participants will be assessed at baseline and comparability will be checked. Afterwards data will be collected at 4-week intervals until the conclusion of 8-week of interventions. For assessing long term effects of treatment protocol patients will be reassessed at 4-week interval after last treatment session. All assessments will be performed by the same assessor at all stages of data collection for all patients. Method of measurement: Visual analogue scale for Pain, Cervical range of motion will be measured through inclinometer, Function will be measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI).
