Exercises are widely regarded as the primary approach for managing cervical spondylosis. Although several studies have examined the effectiveness of multi-angle isometric exercises and dynamic exercises in patients with cervical spondylosis, their findings have been inconsistent. Further research is warranted to determine whether combining dynamic exercises with Kinesio taping can yield superior therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, there is a lack of comparative studies evaluating the relative benefits of multi-angle isometric versus dynamic exercises for individuals with cervical spondylosis. Therefore, this study aims to compare the efficacy of Multi-angle isometric exercise and Dynamic exercise, along with kinesio taping, in improving range of motion in the cervical spine, reducing pain, and improving functional disability in patients with Cervical Spondylosis. Fifty-two participants were randomly assigned to Experimental Group 1 (EG1) and Experimental Group 2 (EG2), with 26 participants in each group. EG1 received Multi-angle isometrics and Kinesio taping along with conventional physiotherapy, while EG2 received Dynamic exercise and Kinesio taping along with conventional physical therapy. Both groups were treated for 9 weeks. Goniometry and the Neck Pain and disability index were used as outcome measures.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Goniometry | Goniometry is the measurement of joint angles using a device called Goniometer. Greater joint angles indicate better treatment outcomes. | Pre-intervention values were taken before the intervention, and post-intervention values were taken in week 10 (after 9 weeks of treatment). |
| Neck Pain and Disability Index | The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure how neck pain affects a person's ability to manage daily life. Each section has six statements scored from 0 (no disability) to 5 (maximum disability), with a total possible score of 50. The higher the score, the greater the perceived disability. | Pre-intervention values were taken before the intervention, and post-intervention values were taken in week 10 (after 9 weeks of treatment). |
