Popis:	Background: Cervical spine is surrounded by a complex arrangement of muscles that controls head and neck, protects the spinal cord and facilitates blood flow to the brain through vertebral openings which are only present in cervical spine.Pain is only a single, non- recurrent event in 6.3%of patients experiencing neck pain. Between half and three quarters of people with neck pain experience recurrence within 1-5 years. The deep cervical flexor muscle is an important stabilizer of head and neck posture located on anterior and lateral surface of cervical spine. Neck pain is chronic if it lasts for more than 3 months. Purpose of Study: To find whether active cranio-cervical flexion exercise could reduce pain, improve cervical ROM and CCFT in patients with chronic neck pain. Aim: To observe the effect of active cranio-cervical flexion exercise of upper cervical spine on pain, cervical ROM and CCFT in patients with chronic neck pain. Objective: To find out the effect of active cranio-cervical flexion exercise on pain,cervical ROM and CCFT in patients with chronic neck pain. Method: Experimental study was conducted on 35 chronic neck patients between age 20-40 years and according to inclusion criteria were recruited in study. Pain, cervical ROM and CCFT was assessed. Results: P value: less than 0.05 for NPRS, cervical ROM and CCFT. Conclusion: active cranio-cervical flexion exercise of upper cervical spine is effective in reducing pain, improve cervical ROM and CCFT in patients with chronic neck pain.
