Brief Summary: Non-specific neck pain is the most common musculoskeletal symptom which can cause limited cervical mobility impaired functional status and stress at work Virtual reality and motor imagery are unique technologies which have beneficial effects on the treatment of non-specific neck pain Virtual reality is a simulated 3D environment that enables users to explore and interact with a virtual surrounding while motor imagery MI is a dynamic mental process of an action without its actual motor execution This study aims to investigate the combined effects of Virtual Reality VR and Motor Imagery Techniques MI with Routine Physical Therapy RPT in patients with Non-specific neck pain This randomized clinical trial will be carried at Railway General Hospital Rawalpindi on 93 participants meeting the inclusion criteria included in the study through probability convenience sampling technique 3 groups of participants assigned ramdomly will receive interventions for three days a week for 6 weeks Group A will receive virtual reality VR and motor imagery MI along with routine physical therapy for Group B participants will receive VR along with routine physical therapy while Group C will receive MI along with routine physical therapy Total treatment time will be 40 minutes Outcome measure tools will be Numeric pain rating scale to measure pain the Tampa scale of Kinesiophobia TSK for the measurement of kinesiophobia and Neck disability index for disability and functional status
Detailed Description: Non-specific neck pain is the most common musculoskeletal symptom which can cause limited cervical mobility impaired functional status and stress at work Despite of the duration neck pain can impair functional capacity quality of life and can cause worry anxiety and depression Virtual reality and motor imagery are unique technologies which have beneficial effects on the treatment of non-specific neck pain Virtual reality is a simulated 3D environment that enables users to explore and interact with a virtual surrounding while motor imagery MI is a dynamic mental process of an action without its actual motor execution This study aims to investigate the combined effects of Virtual RealityVR and Motor Imagery Techniques MI with Routine Physical Therapy RPT in patients with Non-specific neck pain

This randomized clinical trial will be carried at Railway General Hospital Rawalpinidi 93 participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be included in this study through a non-probability convenience sampling technique

Participants will be randomly assigned into 3 groups using computer generated method All the groups receive interventions for three days a week for 6 weeks Group A will receive virtual reality VR and motor imagery MI along with routine physical therapy for Group B participants will receive VR along with routine physical therapy while Group C will receive MI along with routine physical therapy Total treatment time will be 40 minutes

Outcome measure tools will be Numeric pain rating scale to measure pain the Tampa scale of kinesiophobia TSK for the measurement of kinesiophobia and Neck disability index for disability and functional status The data will be collected at baseline before the treatment of the patient Follow-up on the 3rd week and post treatment measure on the 6th week to measure the outcome measures Data will be analysed by SPSS version 26 Statistical significance will be set at p005 The normality of data will be checked by using Kolmogorov- Smirnov test For the between group analysis of parametric data one way ANOVA will be used while Kruskal-Wallis test will be applied for non-parametric data For within group comparison repeated measure ANOVA will be applied for parametric data for non-parametric data Friedman ANOVA will be applied
