While craniocervical flexion trainning (CCFT) improves neuromuscular control and reduces pain, limited researches has examined the additional benefits of semispinalis cervicis strengthening. This randomized controlled trial, conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital and Foundation University College of Physical Therapy will assess the effects of combining semispinalis cervicis strengthening with CCFT on pain, cervical erange of motion, muscle strength and functional disability. Participants will be randomly assigned to either CCFT alone or CCFT with semispinalis cervicis strengthening, performed three times per week for four weeks. Data will be collected at baseline, mid study (week 2) and end of study (week 4) using the Numeric pain rating scale, Goniometer, Sphygmomanometer and Nexk disability index. This study addresses a research gap by exploring deep cervical extensors strengthening alongside CCFT, potentially improving rehabilitation strategies for pain relief, cervical stability and functional recovery.",[76],"Chronic Neck Pain","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-09-17",{"date":80,"type":81},"2025-09-23","ACTUAL",{"date":83,"type":70},"2025-09-30",{"date":85,"type":70},"2026-11-01",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
