Effects of Progressive Neck Motor Control Exercises With and Without Conventional Therapy in Text Neck Syndrome.(PNMCE-TNS)
Sponsor: University of Management and Technology Lahore
Summary
This study aims to compare the effects of Progressive Neck Motor Control Exercises (PNMCE) with and without conventional physiotherapy in patients with Text Neck Syndrome. It will evaluate the effectiveness of both treatment approaches in reducing neck pain, improving cervical range of motion, correcting posture, and enhancing functional ability. The study will determine which treatment approach provides better clinical outcomes.

Progressive Neck Motor Control Exercises
Participants will receive patient education on disease management, diet, activity modification, and posture, followed by a 6-week Progressive Neck Muscle Control Exercise (PNMCE) program. Weeks 1-2: Supine/prone chin tucks, craniocervical flexion (20-22 mmHg), and upper/lower limb exercises; Weeks 3-4: Quadrupedal/standing chin tucks, limb exercises, wall angels, and craniocervical flexion (24-26 mmHg). Weeks 5-6: Swiss ball exercises, resisted chin tucks, and upper limb strengthening with TheraBand (red to green to blue), progressing to 28-30 mmHg; all exercises performed for 2 sets of 10 repetitions, with resistance increased according to tolerance.
Progressive Neck Motor Control Exercises and Conventional Therapy
Participants will receive conventional physiotherapy, including hot pack and TENS application (15 minutes), cervical joint mobilization (Maitland Grades I-III, 3 sets of 30 seconds per segment), and soft tissue mobilization/myofascial release of the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and sternocleidomastoid (10 minutes). Postural correction and ergonomic education will be provided, followed by the full PNMCE program.
