Introduction
Cervical angina remains an underrecognized condition in routine clinical practice, characterized by chest pain of cervical origin.
Aims
This study aimed to investigate the effect of a physiotherapy intervention program on cervical angina among office employees at Jerash University.
Material and methods
A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 60 employees, allocated into experimental and control groups.
Results
Significant improvements were observed in pain intensity and cardiovascular parameters, including HR, SBP, DBP, MABP, and SpO₂. Conclusions: Physiotherapy intervention yielded clinically meaningful improvements in cervical angina symptoms and associated physiological parameters.
Conclusions
The physiotherapy intervention yielded clinically meaningful improvements in cervical angina symptoms and associated physiological parameters. Physiotherapeutic management of cervical angina should focus on correcting cervical spine dysfunctions underlying non-cardiac chest pain, particularly through postural correction, mobility enhancement, and nerve root decompression s
