The more anxiety the individual experience, the more tension may cause significant pain and discomfort. The Conventional conservative methods include non- steroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs, physical measures such as heat, Ultra sound, Manipulations and exercises. Yoga is used to alleviate various types of pain. This is safe and cost-effective intervention which comprises of physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation. Although, MSRT has been routinely as component of the integrated approach to Yoga therapy for treatment of neck pain and back pain gave encouraging results. MSRT intervention also led to better reduction in pain, tenderness, disability and state anxiety in patients suffering from chronic neck pain.
Method: Individuals having neck pain on VAS 3-7, individuals aged between 18-24 years and willing to participate who understood English language, both males and females were included in the study. 15 participants were given MSRT and 15 participants were given PMR. Both groups were given conventional treatment. Outcome measures used were VAS and NDI.
Result: Paired t test was used to compare within groups where p<0.05 and unpaired t test was used to compare between groups where p>0.05.
Conclusion: The study concluded that both MSRT and PRT were equally effective in reducing pain and improving NDI score.
