Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neck pain is a common degenerative condition which is associated with poor posture and advanced age related to wear and tear. It is the one of the causes of dysfunction, like low back pain. Neck pain is one of the most common conditions for referral management by a physical therapist.

Despite the prevalence of neck pain, there is a lack of evidence for commonly used rehabilitation interventions. OBJECTIVE To find out the effect of structured progressive exercise protocol for patients suffering from chronic cervical spine pain. METHODOLOGY A quantitative experimental research approach with pre test post test control group design was conducted in CIRS, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The sample comprised of 60 patients suffering from chronic cervical spine pain. The samples were purposively selected and conveniently assigned to 30 in each experimental and control group. The background data were taken through structured interview schedule. Followed by assessment of cervical pain through structured pain assessment proforma, visual analog scale and the neck disability index. The data were analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of frequency, percentage, mean, median, and “t” test. RESULTS The significant findings of the study were that, the mean post test Pain as well as NDI scores were significantly lower than the mean pre test scores of the experimental group and control group. Mean post test mean 3.3 , SD 1.93 of level of cervical pain were significantly reduced than the pretest mean 4.8 , SD 1.27 as evident from the‘t’ test was 3.70. df, 28 at 0.05 level of significance. Similarly, the post test mean 5.48 and SD 0.62 of neck disability index in cervical pain were significantly reduced than the pretest mean 7.11 and SD 0.28 as evident from the‘t’ test was 3.01at df, 28 differed significantly at 0.05 level of significance. CONCLUSION Findings of the study revealed that structured exercise protocol would be very helpful in alleviating chronic cervical spine pain and found to be more effective in experimental group than the control group.
