Effect Of Pressure Biofeedback on Deep Cervical Muscle Training Among University Teachers.

Effects of Pressure Biofeedback on Deep Cervical Flexor Muscle Training for Neck Pain, Functional Disability and Muscle Endurance Among University Teachers. A Randomized Control Trail

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pressure biofeedback on deep cervical muscle in university teachers suffering from neck pain, Functional Disability and muscle endurance.

The purpose of this study will be to determine whether training of deep cervical flexor muscles with pressure biofeedback has any significant advantage over conventional training for pain and disability experienced by university teachers with neck pain. This study will be a randomized control trial with double blinded protocol. Patient will be randomly allocated in two groups. the experimental group received deep cervical flexor muscles training with pressure biofeedback and conventional exercises. The control group received deep cervical flexor muscles training with only conventional exercises.
