Effectiveness of the Muscle Energy Technique Vs Mulligan Mobilization for Patients with Mechanical Neck Pain

PHYSIOTHEREPY

This research set out to see how individuals with mechanical neck discomfort responded to Muscle Energy Technique vs Mulligan Mobilization. Forty participants met the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to either the Muscle Energy Technique or Mulligan SNAGS groups, both of which received conventional treatment. Patients who volunteered to take part in the research were split into two groups: those who received conventional physiotherapy (TP) and those who received traditional physiotherapy combined with Mulligan mobilization (TPMM), both for the purpose of comparing pre- and post-treatment outcomes. Post-treatment effects were compared between the Muscle Energy Technique and Mulligan SNAGS groups using the Paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed ranks test (Intra-group Comparison) and the unpaired t-test or Mann-Whitney U test (Inter-group Comparison). The VAS, NDI, and Cervical ROM scores of both groups were comparable. When it comes to relieving pain, improving mobility, and expanding range of motion, the Muscle Energy Technique and Mulligan SNAGS are on par.
