Abstract Prolonged use of computers during daily work activities and recreation is often cited as a cause of neck pain. Neck pain and computer users are clearly connected due to extended periods of sitting in a certain position with no breaks to stretch the neck muscles. Pro-longed computer use with neck bent forward, will cause the anterior neck muscles to gradually get shorter and tighter, while the muscles in the back of neck will grow longer and weaker. These changes will lead to development of neck pain. METHODOLOGY: A total 40 subjects were selected for study. They were divided into 2 groups 20 in each. Group A was given Muscle Energy Technique, And Group B was given Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation .Treatment was given 5 days per week, for 6 weeks. Outcome measure in form of NPRS ,And NDI were recorded on 1st day before treatment and after 6 weeks. RESULT: Group A and B showed significant improvement in all three outcome measures within group (P>0.05). Between Group A and B were significant (p>0.05). So, three groups were shows significant difference. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this Comparative study indicated that the treatment in all three Groups (Muscle Energy Technique And Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) are effective in participants with Computer Users Suffering From neck pain on pain and functional disability. However, MET was found to be superior to Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation alone in participants with Computer Users Suffering From neck pain.
