Text neck syndrome is a common musculoskeletal disorder caused by prolonged smartphone and computer use, resulting in neck pain, forward head posture, and functional disability. Manual therapy techniques, including Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAG) and GONG's Mobilization, are frequently used to manage cervical dysfunction.
This quasi-experimental pretest-posttest comparative study aimed to compare the effectiveness of SNAG and GONG's Mobilization on pain intensity, craniovertebral angle, and neck disability in individuals with text neck syndrome. Participants divided into 2 groups (Treatment group A and B) were undergo baseline and post-intervention assessments followed a 12-week treatment program
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants in this arm received baseline treatment consisting of a moist hot pack applied to the cervical region for 10 minutes, followed by GONG's Mobilization. GONG's Mobilization was administered for 10-15 repetitions per session over approximately 20 minutes, three sessions per week on alternate days for 12 weeks. Outcome measures, including pain intensity (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), craniovertebral angle, and Neck Disability Index, were assessed before and after the intervention period.
