Effects of Cervical Sensorimotor Control Training in Nonspecific Chronic Neck Pain
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cervical sensorimotor control training exercises and Conventional Exercises for Nonspecific Chronic Neck Pain. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Impaired cervical joint position sense is associated with neck pain. This study will determine the effects of sensorimotor control training exercises on cervical joint position, pain, ROM and function in nonspecific chronic neck pain. There will be two groups ; experimental and control. Half of study group will receive cervical sensorimotor control training exercises and half of study group will receive conventional physiotherapy protocol.

Timeline
Interventions
Cervical sensory motor training exercises consisting of cervical position sense and cervical movement sense exercises with 3 levels of difficulty and 5 repetitions \* 3 sets for each exercise will be given. Some exercises are: Head relocation with laser feedback: head relocation to neutral and predetermined position with eyes opened (in horizontal / vertical direction) (5 reps x 3 sets) Head relocation to neutral, predetermined and to specific targets with eyes opened (in diagonal directions) (5 reps x 3 sets) Head relocation to neutral and predetermined position with eyes closed (in all directions)(5 reps x 3 sets) In addition to it conventional physical therapy protocol consisting of Generalized stretching and cervical strengthening exercises along with joint mobility.
conventional physical therapy protocol consisting of Generalized stretching and cervical strengthening exercises along with joint mobility exercises will be given to patients.
