Nonspecific neck pain is a common musculoskeletal condition among office workers and students, often associated with poor posture, prolonged sitting, and repetitive strain. It leads to reduced muscle endurance, impaired functional capacity, and decreased quality of life. Early and effective management strategies are essential to prevent chronicity and disability.\n\nA total of 51 participants will be recruited and randomly assigned into three groups: Group 1 will receive PRT combined with a standardized home exercise program, Group 2 will receive İASTM combined with the same home exercise program, and Group 3 will serve as the control group receiving only conventional home exercise. The interventions will be delivered over a period of 4 weeks, with three sessions per week, under the supervision of trained physiotherapists. The home exercise program includes stretching, strengthening, and posture correction exercises designed to support cervical spine health.\n\nThe primary outcomes of the study are cervical muscle endurance and functional performance, measured using validated clinical tests. Secondary outcomes include pain intensity assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), functional disability measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI), health-related quality of life assessed by the SF-12 questionnaire, and work-related performance indicators. Assessments will be conducted at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention. Randomization and blinding procedures will be applied to minimize bias, and standardized protocols will ensure consistency across groups.\n\nThe main objective of this study is to determine whether the early application of PRT or İASTM, in combination with home exercise, provides superior improvements in cervical muscle endurance, pain reduction, and functional outcomes compared to exercise alone. By comparing these two mobilization techniques, the study aims to contribute evidence-based knowledge to physiotherapy practice and guide clinicians in selecting effective manual therapy approaches for nonspecific neck pain. The findings are expected to support clinical decision-making, improve patient care, and enhance rehabilitation strategies for individuals suffering from neck pain in occupational and daily life contexts.",[27,28],"Neck Pain Musculoskeletal","Nonspecific Neck Pain",[28,30,31,32,33,34,35,36],"Manual Therapy","Positional Release Technique","Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization","Cervical Muscle Endurance","Physiotherapy","Randomized Controlled Trial","Office Workers","RECRUITING","2026-05-25",{"date":40,"type":41},"2026-05-28","ACTUAL",{"date":43,"type":41},"2026-03-16",{"date":45,"type":21},"2027-01-16",{"name":47,"class":48},"Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa","OTHER",1,{"id":51,"slug":52,"hasResults":11,"nctId":53,"briefTitle":54,"officialTitle":55,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":56,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":18,"enrollmentInfo":57,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":59,"briefSummary":60,"conditions":61,"keywords":62,"overallStatus":37,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":64,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":65,"startDateStruct":67,"completionDateStruct":69,"leadSponsor":71,"locationsCount":49},"100583402","effects-of-cailliet-and-kendall-exercises-in-nonspecific-neck-pain-100583402","NCT06875856","Effects of Cailliet and Kendall Exercises in Nonspecific Neck Pain","Comparative Effects of Cailliet and Kendall Exercises on Pain, Functional Movement and Disability in Nonspecific Neck Pain: Randomized Control Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age group between 18 to 40 years\n* Both gender male and female\n* Individuals having localized pain or stiffness in spine or both combined between C3 and C7 without upper limb radiculopathy\n* Negative Spurling's test, traction test, upper limb tension test, and shoulder abduction test.\n* Pain reported on NPRS Moderate score in neck region for more than 3 months\n* Neck Disability Index (NDI) score of 0-10 points out of 50 score\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Tuberculosis, carcinoma, heart disease, and osteoporosis\n* Neural disorders due to prolapsed intervertebral disc\n* Any trauma, localized infection or history of surgery in cervical spine region in last 6 months\n* Upper motor neuron disease, cervical stenosis, and metabolic diseases in bone and joint\n* Hyper flexibility, Open sores\n* Ongoing radiotherapy, chemotherapy, steroid therapy, or anticoagulants\n* Psychiatric diseases such as phobia\u002Fobsession and depression\n* Allergy to hot pack",{"count":58,"type":21},32,[24],"Objective of study will be to compare effects of Cailliet and Kendall exercises on pain, functional movement and disability in non-specific neck pain.This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Good Hands Physiotherapy Clinic, Shahdara Lahore.
