Abstract
Background: The muscular imbalance between the neck muscles and specifically between the deep and superficial neck flexors is considered the main contributing factor in chronic neck pain Objective: This study was conducted to compare between effect of deep cervical flexor pressure biofeedback exercise to effect of Integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique in treatment of chronic mechanical neck pain. Method: Forty-five patients (34 females ,11 males), with age average (27.47 ±3.29) years with chronic mechanical neck pain randomly assigned into 3 equal groups (all n=15),group (A): received Deep cervical flexor pressure biofeedback exercise plus traditional program, group (B): Integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique plus traditional program and group (C) only traditional program (Infrared, Ultrasonic, and massage) for three weeks, three sessions per week.The outcomes measured by inclinometer for cervical range of motion assessment in six directions, visual analogue scale for pain and neck pain disability index for functional disability, before and after treatment. Results: within group analysis revealed significant difference in range of motion, pain and neck pain disability index before and after the treatment in the three groups as p {u02C2} 0.05, and between group analysis revealed significant difference of range of motion, pain after treatment in favor to group A, as p {u02C2} 0.05while no significant difference between group A, B in NDI _as P>0.05
