Abstract

Objective: To compare the efficacy of dynamic neck exercises versus isometric neck exercises with theraband in chronic neck pain

Methods: 60 patients with chronic neck pain selected as per the inclusion criteria; all the conditions in exclusion criteria was excluded. By dividing them into group A (n =30) (treated with dynamic neck exercise), group B (n=30) (treated with isometric neck exercise with theraband).

Results: After screening of the 60 patients for study eligibility, a total of 30 patients were included for analysis, of whom 30 were in the control group A (Dynamic neck exercise with theraband) and 30 were in group B (Isometric neck exercise with theraband) Analysis pre-test and post-test score within and between the values of groups are tabulated with intervention of the result of the study. Group B showed significant change in ROM and Neck pain.

Conclusion: Isometric Exercise is very well known for its pain reliving and long-lasting properties, but variability of techniques make it difficult to document but Theraband is known to provide consistency in training whilst preventing fatigue. Hence, patients in group B (treated with Theraband) showed decrease in VAS (Visual Analog Score) and NDI (Neck Disability Index) scores, which prove that isometric with theraband is better in treating Chronic Neck Pain.
