Overview

Randomized trial evaluates Mulligan’s Mobilization effects on pain and range of motion in neck pain patients, indicating benefits of Kinesio taping.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the immediate effects of Mulligan's mobilization and Kinesio taping on pain and cervical mobility in patients with chronic neck pain.
  • Pilot randomized controlled trial with 24 participants aged 20–55 years.
  • Participants assigned to experimental (Mulligan’s mobilization + Kinesio taping) or control group (Mulligan’s mobilization alone).
  • Assessments for pain intensity, cervical range of motion, and proprioception conducted pre- and post-intervention.
  • Experimental group showed significant reduction in pain intensity (p < 0.001).
  • Cervical RoM improved significantly in flexion and left lateral flexion for the experimental group (p < 0.05).
  • Proprioception improved in the experimental group with significant betterment in repositioning accuracy (p = 0.02, p = 0.03).
