Cervicothoracic junction mobilization versus autogenic muscle energy technique for chronic mechanical neck pain: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Neck pain is a prevalent global health concern often accompanied by musculoskeletal symptoms. This randomized controlled trial attempted to contrast the impacts of non-thrust Maitland mobilization and Autogenic inhibition muscle energy technique on chronic mechanical neck pain associated with cervico-thoracic junction hypo-mobility.

Methods: Sixty participants (24 males and 36 females, aged 18-45 years) were allocated randomly into three equally sized groups (A, B, C).
