Abstract
Background: The majority of adult patients who have neck pain report it as a common health issue. However, relatively recent data indicate that the prevalence of this pertinent issue is shifting from adulthood to all younger ages as a result of new technology. In fact, excessive and improper use of personal computers, especially cell phones, may contribute to the emergence of "text neck syndrome," a complicated combination of clinical symptoms (1)Aims and Objectives: This study aims to compare the effect of Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaption Osteoid Articular (ELDOA) and sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique in reducing pain and disability in patients with text neck syndrome. Material and methodology: This is a randomized controlled trial(this trial has been registered in Iranian registry of clinical trials by the id no: IRCT20210811052138N6) with 40 sample size. Data was collected through convenient sampling technique being recruited from the students of College of Physical Therapy, Government College University Faisalabad having a certain inclusion/exclusion criterion along with a consent form being signed prior to the enrollment of subjects. Recruited participants were divided into two groups: the group 1 which consist of 20 participants on which ELDOA technique was applied along with the baseline treatment; the group 2 consist of 20 participants on which sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique was applied along with the baseline treatment. Statistical analysis: Data was analyzed by SPSS Version 22. Results: The results of pain in Group A on which ELDOA technique was performed had more significance than Group B on which sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique was applied because the mean of group A for pain intensity dropped from 7.65 to 2.90 and that of group B dropped from7.25 to 5.25. The mean difference of pain intensity in group A was 4.75 and that in group B was 2.0 Conclusion: the ELDOA technique proved to be more effective exercise than the sub-occipital technique. So, the ELDOA technique when applied in text neck syndrome patients reduced the neck disability and forward head posture more than in those patients on which sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique was applied.
