What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to compare the effects of post-isometric relaxation (PIR) and post isometric stretching (PIS) techniques on reducing neck pain, improving range of motion, and decreasing neck disability in individuals with neck pain. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 50 participants, who will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one receiving PIR and the other receiving PIS. A single-blind method will be used, meaning the participants will not know which group they belong to. Participants will be selected based on specific criteria related to neck pain and will then be randomly allocated to the PIR or PIS group. Initially, all participants will receive two standard treatments: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and hot pack application. After these treatments, one group will undergo post-isometric relaxation (PIR), which involves 3-5 repetitions of
