Purpose: to compare CL with laser puncture (LP) effect on chronic neck pain on patients suffering from PCLS. Methods: Sixty participants suffering from PCLS randomly allocated into three groups. All groups received conventional physical therapy (isometric strengthening and core stabilization) exercises, plus group A received CL (632.8 nm, 24 J/cm²) on tender areas; group B received LP (632.8 nm, 24 J/cm²) over specific acupoints. All groups received fourteen sessions, twice weekly for seven consecutive weeks. All participants underwent three evaluations of chronic neck pain intensity level using pain intensity numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), cervical kinematics using C2-C7 cobb angle as gold method for both cervical sagittal lordotic angle and cervical sagittal range of motion (ROM) and neck disability level using neck pain disability index (NPDI), at the beginning and the end of the study, as well after twelve weeks as a follow up UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
