Patients in group A is treated with conventional treatment (include stretching exercises of SCM, Scaleni and upper fibers of trapezius followed by strengthening (isometrics) of Neck flexors (SCM, rectus capitis, anterior and longus capitis) and then with kinesiology taping.

Two pieces of the tape cutted in a Y-shape. Applied on deep cervical extensors and upper fibers of trapezius.

Patients in group B is treated with conventional treatment (stretching exercises of SCM, Scaleni and upper fibers of trapezius followed by strengthening (isometrics) of Neck flexors (SCM, rectus capitis, anterior and longus capitis) and then with Instrument Assisted soft tissue mobilization technique.

IASTM using tools over the length of targeted muscles (SCM, descending fiber of trapezius, suboccipitalis muscles) in a multidirectional stroking fashion applied to the skin at 30°- 60° for 5 minutes.

Two pieces of the tape cutted in a Y-shape. Applied on deep cervical extensors and upper fibers of trapezius. Length of the tape may vary from person to person. Patient is instructed to keep the tape for at-least 2 days.

Changes from baseline Numeric pain Rating Scale is used to objectively assess musculoskeletal pain as marked by the patient. It is a 10 point scale from 0 to 10. 0 depicts no pain at all and 10 shows worst pain ever felt. It is measured at baseline and after 4 weeks of the intervention

Changes from baseline NDI is the most widely used instrument for assessing self-rated disability in patients with neck pain. The NDI is a self-report questionnaire with 10-items. The response to each item is rated on a 6-point scale from 0 (no disability) to 5 (complete disability). The numeric responses for each item are summed for a total score ranging between 0 and 50. Most of the subjects did not know how to drive so their total score is taken from 45. The questionnaire is filled by the subjects at basline and after 4 weeks of the intervention

Changes from baseline Bubble inclinometers are portable, lightweight, inexpensive and require training. With the movement of neck the ink in the inclinometer moves and the level of ink gives the measure of the range of motion. For flexion, extension and lateral flexion of cervical Range of motion in sitting position and inclinometer is positioned at the top of head in sagittal plane. For rotations the subject is in supine position and inclinometer is placed over the forehead. Cervical ranges of motions are measured at baseline and then after 4 weeks of intervention.
