This study aims to determine the effects of holistic spinal fascial mobilization on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic neck pain so that we can have the best treatment option for patients with chronic neck pain, the duration will be 10 months, purposive sampling will be done, subject following eligibility criteria from bahawal Victoria hospital Bahawalpur, were allocated in two groups, a baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given conventional treatment along with fascial mobilization, Group B participants were given conventional treatment, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Neck Disability Index(NDI) and Goniometry for a range of motion,3 sessions per week were given, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.
Chronic neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders among the general population. Like a muscular spasm of the neck that can cause neck pain, fascial adhesions are also a common cause of neck pain. Fascia is a form of connective tissue that is made up of collagen, surrounds the body parts, and also resists tissue tensile load. There is huge literature regarding the management of neck pain and yet after decades of research, there are gaps in treatment options. In the modern age of health care, it is a common goal of every health care to make patients self-sufficient as early as possible. The self-care models have tremendous advantages. The current study aims to determine the effects of holistic spinal fascial mobilization on pain, range of motion, and function in patients with chronic neck pain. All treatment methods were employed to see if they improve the ranges accompanying pain and disability.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group A | Experimental | baseline physical therapy treatment along with facial mobilization |
|
| Group B | Other | baseline (Conventional) physical therapy treatment |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fascial mobilization group | Other | Fascial mobilization+ conventional treatment (3 sessions per week). MFR is thought to work directly on restricted fascia; practitioners use knuckles or elbow to slowly sink into the fascia, and the pressure applied to contact the restricted fascia, apply tension, or stretch the fascia. MFR involves application of gentle stretch the pressure applied is a few grams of force, and the hands tend to follow the direction of fascial restriction, hold the stretch, and allow the fascia to release itself + hot pack (10 min) + neck isometrics (neck flexion, extension, side bending) + neck stretches (neck flexors, extensors, side benders and rotation).A total of 40-45 min session three times a week on alternate days for three weeks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| NPRS | Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. Where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain | 3rd day |
| NDI | The NDI has become a standard instrument for measuring self-rated disability due to neck pain. Each of the 10 items scores from 0 to 5. The maximum score is 5. | 3rd day |
| Goniometric measurement of Neck ROM | A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint. | 3rd day |
