چکیده
Background: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT)—a manual therapy approach combining Muscle Energy Techniques (MET), Ischemic Compression (IC), and Strain-Counterstrain (SCS)—with posture correction using a postural belt in individuals with mechanical neck pain.
Methods: In this single-blinded randomized clinical trial, 40 participants with mechanical neck pain (mean age: 34.32 ± 7.90 years) were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A received INIT, while Group B received posture correction through a postural belt. Interventions were administered three times per week over three weeks. Pain intensity, craniovertebral angle (CVA), and neck disability were assessed at baseline and after the third week of intervention.
Results: Both groups showed statistically significant improvements in pain, CVA, and neck disability scores after the intervention (p < 0.05). However, the INIT group demonstrated superior outcomes across all measured variables compared to the posture correction group.
Conclusion: INIT proved more effective than posture correction in reducing pain and disability and improving craniovertebral angle in individuals with mechanical neck pain. Nonetheless, posture correction using a belt may still serve as a viable secondary treatment option due to its simplicity, ease of use, and demonstrated benefits in pain relief and functional improvement.
