Comparison of Facet Oscillatory Mobilization and Mobilization With Movement in Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain

The study compares Facet Oscillatory Mobilization and Mobilization with Movement in managing chronic mechanical neck pain, aiming to determine the effectiveness of these techniques in pain, range of motion, and disability.

This study will be Conducted as a randomized controlled trial, it will include 32 participants divided into two groups receiving different mobilization techniques along with conventional physical therapy. Outcome measures such as the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Inclinometer will be used to assess changes over a two-week intervention period with a follow-up after one month.
