Biomechanical Therapy in Neck Pain Management v1

This multi-centre, double-blinded randomized controlled trialwill evaluate the effectiveness of Function Induced Biomechanical Correction Therapy (FIBCT) compared to conventional physiotherapy for mechanical neck pain. Eighty patients aged 18–50 years who are diagnosed with mechanical neck pain, will be recruited from three hospitals in Bangladesh and randomly allocated(1:1) to either FIBCT or conventional physiotherapy (such as exercise therapy and electrotherapy). Both groups will receive treatment twice a week for six weeks (12 sessions each lasting for 30–40 min). Primary outcomes include pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale) and pain sensitivity (Pressure Pain Threshold).Secondary outcomes include Cervical Range of Motion (digital inclinometer), functional disability (Neck Disability Index), and patient-specific functional status (Patient-Specific Functional Scale). Data will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention by blinded evaluators. This trial aims to generate evidence on the short-term efficacy of FIBCT, supporting evidence-based management of mechanical neck pain in diverse clinical settings.
