Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
In group A, patients will receive mechanical cervical traction.
Physiotherapist will apply it.
2 sessions per week for 6 weeks.
Mechanical traction is a therapeutic intervention wherein a mechanical device is employed to administer a controlled and mild tensile strain to the cervical region.
Assume a supine position on a horizontal plane. Position the traction apparatus beneath the cervical region and upper thoracic region. Modify the parameters of the traction apparatus to ensure that the applied force is conducive to a comfortable experience. Please remain calm and permit the traction machine to perform its intended function. Commence with a brief duration of traction, specifically spanning a period of 10 minutes with 10 seconds of traction and 5 seconds relax.

Rehabilitation
Comparator / control treatment
In the group B, participants will receive the cervical mobilization. The patient assumed a prone position while the therapist will position themselves at the head of the patient. The subject's thumbs will position in opposition at the hypo mobile cervical vertebra facet level, and a unilateral posterior anterior (PA) oscillatory pressure will be administered utilising Grade II and Grade III Maitland's manual therapy procedures. The oscillatory mobilisation will be executed at a frequency of 2 Hz for a duration of 2 minutes, and this process will be repeated three times. The duration of rest intervals between each mobilisation will be one minute. In this group every patient will receive 2 sessions per week with time period of 10 minutes followed.
6 weeks treatment session.
