This article discusses a clinical trial, NCT06598644, that compares the effectiveness of two therapeutic techniques, Cervical Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide (SNAG) and Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), in treating mechanical neck pain. The trial aims to determine which method is more effective in reducing pain, improving range of motion, and enhancing overall neck function in individuals suffering from mechanical neck pain. Mechanical neck pain is a common condition characterized by pain that worsens with specific neck movements or sustained postures. Cervical SNAGs involve sustained glides to the cervical spine to address joint dysfunction, while IASTM uses specialized tools to improve tissue quality. Both techniques have potential benefits in reducing pain and improving neck function. The study is not yet recruiting participants, and the target enrollment is 56 individuals. The eligibility criteria include individuals between the ages of 20 and 45 with a history of neck pain. The study will take place in Pakistan, and the primary investigator is Kinza Anwar.
