Random allocation software was used for the purpose. The number of participants and Interventions assign to groups were added in the software, after which participants were assigned to their respective groups randomly, Blinding description: There were two interventional groups in this study. Groups were allocated to the subjects by the computer generated randomization method but subjects were not told which group they belonged to. The measurements taken from participants on questionnaire were also not shown to participants. N/A Latent myofascial trigger points causing neck pain for 3 months or more. Intervention 1: Intervention Group A; this group will receive 'Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique' which will target upper trapezius trigger points to improve neck pain, range of motion and neck disability. The intervention will be applied 2 days for 2 weeks. This whole technique will take upto 20 minutes per session. Hotpack will be used as a baseline treatment before intervention and cervical stretching exercises (three repetitions) will be performed after applying intervention. Intervention 2: Intervention Group B; This group will receive ten repetitions of 'Active Release Technique' which will target upper trapezius latent trigger points to improve neck pain, range of motion and neck disability. The intervention will be applied 2 days for 2 weeks. This whole technique will take upto 20 minutes per session. Hotpack will be used as a baseline treatment before intervention and cervical stretching exercises (three repetitions) will be performed after applying intervention. 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 It will be decided later as per the advice of supervisor and the recruitments of the journal in which the article will be sent for publication.

Hotpack will be used as a baseline treatment before intervention and cervical stretching exercises (three repetitions) will be performed after applying intervention. Cervical Pain. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention, post reading was taken after 2 weeks and Follow up reading was measured 4 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Cervical pain of each individual was measured by using Visual analogue scale (VAS). Cervical range of motion - Side bending and Lateral rotation. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention, post reading was taken after 2 weeks and Follow up reading was measured 4 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Cervical range of motion of side bending and rotation was measured using a Goniometer. Neck disability. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention, post reading was taken after 2 weeks and Follow up reading was measured 4 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Neck disability of each individual was calculated using Neck Disability Index (NDI).
