Brief summary: The goal of this \[type of study: Randomized control trial\] is to \[ compare the effectiveness of Mulligan and McKenzie Exercises along with stabilization exercises on pain, range of motion and disability \] in \[ in patients with chronic neck pain\].The main question it aims to answer is:

* Wether Mulligan is more effective or Mckenzie exercises along with stabilization exercises in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain Group 1 will recieve Mulligan and stabilization exercises Group 2 will recieve Mckenzie and stabilization exercises

Detailed description: Chronic neck pain is a prevalent and multifaceted condition, affecting a substantial portion of the general population (16.7% to 75.1%). Different techniques have been used to treat chronic neck pain. In this study, I will be comparing two manual therapy techniques along with stabilization exercises and will check which manual technique with stabilization exercise is more effective in the treatment of chronic neck pain. One of the techniques is Mulligan technique. The other one is the self-treatment approach of the McKenzie technique, . Additionally, cervical stabilization exercises, incorporating progressive stages, aim to enhance neuromuscular control.

The research involves two intervention groups (Group A and Group B) receiving specific treatments over 32 sessions within an eight-week period. Group A incorporates the Mulligan technique, cervical and scapulothoracic stabilization exercises, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with a heating pad. Group B undergoes hot packs and TENS, followed by McKenzie exercises and cervical and scapulothoracic stabilization exercises. Outcomes, encompassing pain levels, range of motion (ROM), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores, will be evaluated using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Goniometer, and Neck Disability Scale. Data analysis will employ SPSS version 26. Data will be collected at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at follow-up intervals.
