ABSTRACT
Cervicalgia is a worldwide frequent problem now a days. Many individuals and their families are significantly affected by neck pain. Cervicalgia is usually common among patients with vertigo and it has been associated with a reduced quality of life .objective : To find out that in which condition cervicalgia or benign proxysmal positional vertigo more ADLs restriction occurs. Methods: Cross-sectional study design was used .The study ran from March 1st, 2021- August 31st 2021.Sampling technique was Non-Probability Convenient Sampling. Sample size was 185. Patients between 20 to 60 years of age, having cervicalgia without positional vertigo, having dizziness without neck and were included. Patients who have neck pain and vertigo due to systemic causes were excluded . Study setting were different areas of Lahore. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 25. Two questionnaires (Copenhagen Neck Disability Scale & The Dizziness Handicap Inventory) used to collect the data for assessment Result: Individuals with BPPV tend to experience more severe handicap on the Dizziness Handicap Inventory, with 38.7% reporting severe handicap compared to 15.1% in cervicalgia.The Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale shows that individuals with BPPV have a higher proportion of moderate (48.4%) and severe (15.1%) disability compared to those with cervicalgia.The results indicate statistically significant associations between the type of condition (cervicalgia vs. BPPV) and the severity of handicap and functional disability. Conclusion: It was estimated that the patients with benign paroxysmal position vertigo have more difficulty (48.4%) in performing activities of daily living as compare to patients of cervicalgia (15.1%).
