Abstract
Background and Objectives:Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, and the lack of proper treatment of this disorder can cause pain and disability in people. Therefore, the purpose of this study was Comparison of stability training and Muscle Energy Technique on pain, disability and neck range of motion in men with chronic neck pain.
Materials and Methods: Patients with chronic neck pain were randomly divided into three groups. The first group (intervention1), the stability training and the second group (intervention2) received the muscle energy technique. Exercises It was done for 6 weeks and 4 sessions in week and the control group only received posture correction guidelines at home. Pain was assessed on the basis of Visual analogue scale (VAS), disability by Neck Disability Index questionnaire and neck range of motion by inclinometer before and 48 hours after treatment. ANOVA with repeated measures was employed for data analyses and significant level was considered it p<0.05.
Results: There was a significant difference in pain severity, disability and neck range of motion after intervention in both groups (P <0.005). Compared to the two groups after the treatment, there was a significant difference in the All variables (P <0.005), in the other words More improvements were achieved in Stabilization Exercises group.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that in patients with chronic neck pain, both methods of stability training and muscle energy technique have been effective in improving pain, disability and neck motion. However, patients in the stabilization group have a greater impact.
