Summary

This study compares two types of exercises—core stability and scapular stabilization—to see which better improves hand grip strength in people with chronic myofascial neck pain. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: core exercises, scapular exercises, or standard physical therapy. The goal is to find out which approach most effectively reduces pain and improves hand function.
