Neck pain is a very common problem that creates a socio-economic burden. One of the most common causes of neck pain is disc herniation and often causes the pain to become chronic. Factors such as poor posture, long working hours, and psychological stress exacerbate the symptoms related to the cervical region. Surgical nurses are also at high risk for neck pain. Also, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many patients, especially healthcare professionals, cannot access physiotherapy and rehabilitation services both due to their busy work and to reduce the risk of contamination. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of remote spinal stabilization exercises in a patient with chronic neck pain. Pain, disability, kinesophobia, grip strength, and quality of life of a 26-year-old female patient who was an operating room nurse were evaluated. Architectural features of the muscles were evaluated by ultrasonography. 3 days a week, 5 weeks of distance exercise training was given. As a result, it was observed that pain, kinesiophobia, and disability levels decreased, quality of life and grip strength increased in this case. M. Longus Colli thickness was found to be increased. Also, the patient stated that her symptoms were reduced and she was less tired at work. This study is the first to provide remote exercise training for a surgical nurse with chronic neck pain. It is thought that the results of this study will shed light on more comprehensive studies on surgical nurses.

Abstract Background: - Neck pain is defined as mechanical, neuropathic or secondary to any other disorder and it can be acute, 6 weeks; sub acute, 3 months; chronic, >3 months. types of potential causes for neck pain: medical effects, severe or non-threatening causes, usual and rare conditions, and genuine and invalid causes. Motor control was defined as motor relearning program with emphasis on coordination and holding capabilities of specific neck flexor, extensor, and shoulder girdle muscles. MET is a method of treatment that involves the voluntary contraction of a Patients muscle in a precisely controlled direction, against a counterforce provided by the therapist.Methodology: - In the study 50 chronic neck pain patients will be enrolled. And will be divided into 25 in each group. One group will receive Muscle Energy Technique and the other group will receive Motor Control Exercise as well as conventional therapy for 4 weeks. Pain, ROM and strength will be evaluated using the standard technique. Discussion: - The goal of this Interventional study is to examine the impact of MET versus MCE with conventional therapy on patients with chronic neck pain. This research will help in identifying rapid and long term effects of MET versus MCE with conventional therapy on patients with chronic neck pain. The clinical trial registry-India(CTRI) registration number for this trial is CTRI/2021/05/033497.

Context: Neck pain is a common phenomenon and affects a large segment of the population. Chronic neck pain, lasting more than 3 months, likely occurs in 10% - 30% of patients with acute neck pain and affects up to 288 million cases globally, carrying a significant cost in terms of quality of life, disability, and healthcare dollars. Here we review neck pain background, acupuncture and the evidence that exist to support acupuncture use in chronic neck pain. Results: Neck pain not only affects quality of life directly, but also contributes to depression, job dissatisfaction and reduced productivity. Unfortunately, neck pain is strongly linked to office and computer work and is likely to continue increasing in prevalence. Traditional treatments, such as analgesics, physical therapy, exercise, and non-invasive therapy bring some relief, and invasive therapy is indicated if anatomical pathologies exist. Acupuncture is a form of integrative medicine, originally described and practiced in traditional Chinese medicine and now expanded to include methods including acupressure, dry needling, and others. Traditionally, it focused on restoring the patient’s flow of Qi by puncturing specific points along the meridians. It has previously been shown to be effective in other forms of chronic pain and disability. Clinical trials studying acupuncture for neck pain have shown significant reduction in both pain and associated symptoms. These therapies are reviewed in this text. Conclusions: Neck pain is a common and significant global problem. Acupuncture, dry needling, and cupping were all shown to be effective in alleviating pain both immediately after treatment, as well as provide long-lasting relief. These treatments are generally safe and inexpensive and should be considered as part of a multimodal approach for the treatment of neck pain. More head-to-head studies will provide better data to support a choice of a specific treatment over another.

Introduction: Chronic neck pain might lead to a change in muscle tissue fibres. Neck discomfort is a serious and prevalent sickness. It is common in the general population, and it frequently results in severe impairment. These alterations have an impact on the cervical spine's capacity to govern 3-D movement efficiently. A range of manual therapy approaches are available to assist relieve pain and impairment while also cervical spine range of motion enhancement and everyday mobility. More evidence for Muscle Energy Technique (MET) in treating such a condition was found. This case report describes muscular energy technique's effect on a patient who has been suffering from neck pain for a long time. Case Presentation: At the previous three months, a 27-year-old female accountant in a hospital with extended periods of sitting while working on a computer presented to our facility with neck pain. Increase in pain with looking up. Discussion: The therapy was well embraced through this patient to muscle energy technique resulting in a high degree of flexibility in the cervical spine, reduce pain and improves flexibility and strength. Conclusion: Physiotherapy has a significant effect Pain, strength, and range of motion are all factors to consider. The findings of this case study indicate that a specific muscle energy technique It's possible that a routine will help to alleviate the problem of neck pain, improves strength and functional ability.
