Self-Mobilization With SNAGs Vs. DIE on CMNP in Computer Professionals

The goal of this clinical trial was to find out whether a self-applied neck mobilization technique (called self-SNAGs) or neck strengthening exercises (dynamic isometric exercises) works better to reduce pain and improve daily function in computer professionals aged 25-45 years who had long-lasting mechanical neck pain. The main questions it aimed to answer were: * Does self-SNAG treatment reduce neck pain more than strengthening exercises? * Does self-SNAG treatment improve neck-related daily activities more than strengthening exercises? Researchers compared self-SNAG exercises with dynamic isometric neck exercises to see which approach led to greater pain relief and better function over six weeks. Participants were asked to: * Perform either self-SNAG neck movements using a towel or neck-strengthening exercises using elastic bands. * Do the exercises five days per week for six weeks. * Follow ergonomic advice for proper posture during computer work. * Complete pain and disability questionnaires before and after the program.
