Cervicothoracic junction mobilization versus autogenic muscle energy technique for chronic mechanical neck pain: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Neck pain is a prevalent global health concern often accompanied by musculoskeletal symptoms. This randomized controlled trial attempted to contrast the impacts of non-thrust Maitland mobilization and Autogenic inhibition muscle energy technique on chronic mechanical neck pain associated with cervico-thoracic junction hypo-mobility.

Methods

Sixty participants (24 males and 36 females, aged 18-45 years) were allocated randomly into three equally sized groups (A, B, C). Group A: Maitland mobilization plus conventional treatment, Group B: Autogenic Muscle energy technique plus conventional treatment, while; Group C solely received conventional treatment. Treatment was administered for four weeks, three times a week. Outcome measures: neck pain (The primary outcome mea
