McKenzie Exercises for Chronic Neck Pain: Stabilization vs. Non-Stabilization

PURPOSE: To compare the effects of mckenzie exercises plus stabilization exercise to those of mckenzie exercises alone on disability, pain, range of motion (ROM) in patients with nonspecific chronic neck pain (NSCNP). BACKGROUND: Little is known about the efficacy of providing mckenzie exercises in addition to cervical and scapulothoracic stabilization exercises in people with NSCNP. HYPOTHESES We hypothesize that there will be no significant effect of adding stabilization exercises to mckenzie exercises than mckenzie exercises alone in patients with NSCNP. RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a statistically significant effect of adding stabilization exercises to mckenzie exercises on outcomes of patients with NSCNP?
