The duration of exercise was 3 months and treatment were performed under supervision, Randomization description: Diagnosed patients of chronic non-specific neck pain will be randomly assigned. Participants will be randomly divided using concealed allocation through opening sealed envelopes. Each envelope contains the program of treatment, either muscle energy technique or positional release therapy, Blinding description: The outcome assessor is blinded as he does not know about the treatment and which group is receiving what kind of treatment. N/A Chronic non specific neck pain. Intervention 1: Intervention group1: Participants in group A received Routine Physical therapy with Muscle Energy Technique. The hypertonic muscle is taken to a length just short of pain, or to the point where resistance to movement is first noted.A submaximal (10-20%) contraction of the hypertonic muscle is performed away from the barrier for between 5 and 10 seconds and the therapist applies resistance in the opposite direction.The hypertonic muscle is taken to a length just short of pain, or to the point where resistance to movement is first noted. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: Participants in group B received Routine Physical Therapy with Positional Release Therapy. The physiotherapist locates the marked trigger point and while maintaining contact, a light pressure with the clinician’s fingertip is applied creating slight dimpling of the skin and blanching of the clinician’s fingernail bed. The participant is asked to remain completely relaxed during the 90 second treatment. After passing the recommended 90 seconds the neck is returned to the starting position. This procedure is repeated immediately 2 more times in tender points immediately adjacent to the first one. Following treatment, the same dependent variable measurements will be taken. Undecided - It is not yet known if there will be a plan to make this available Justification or reason for indecision in sharing IPD is There is no further information

Disability and pain. Timepoint: Before intervention then at 4th and 8th weeks. Method of measurement: Disability measured by Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Pain measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
