Abstract
Nonspecific neck pain is the most common musculoskeletal disorder results from poor posture, arising through sustained, long term, abnormal physiological loads imposed on neck and shoulder in college students, which leads to formation of trigger points, spasm, pain, restriction of motion and functional disability. Very few specific studies were done comparing the effect and combining it with Stabilizing exercises were found in literature. Students with neck pain may become symptomatic adults, highlighting an urgent need for stakeholders to pay more attention to reduce impact in later life. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of Positional release technique (PRT) Vs Deep Ischemic Compression (DIC) both combined with Stabilizing exercises for treating nonspecific neck pain in college students on Disability, Pain and Cervical Ranges after two weeks. A screening was done in college students, and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 40 participants were identified and divided in two groups, Group A: PRT+ Stabilising Exercises and Group B: DIC+ Stabilising Exercises. Participants were clinically evaluated. Pre-treatment and post- treatment NDI, VAS and Cervical ranges were taken. Intervention was given for two weeks. It was observed that NDI, VAS, Left Lateral Flexion, Left and Right Cervical Rotation gave extremely significant difference. GROUP B i.e., DIC + stabilising exercises was more effective than GROUP A i.e., PRT + stabilizing exercises in reducing pain, functional disability and improve cervical ranges. Hence, it can be concluded that DIC when combined with Stabilising Exercises is more effective in reducing pain, functional disability and improve cervical ranges than PRT combined with Stabilizing exercises in college students after two weeks.
