To our knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate the effects of exercises, interferential current therapy (IFT) and myofascial release therapy on sleep quality and polysomnographic parameters in this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty adult men with chronic neck pain and poor sleep were randomised (1:1) in a two\u2010arm, assessor\u2010blinded trial. Group 1 received therapeutic exercise plus interferential current therapy; Group 2 received the same plus myofascial release (MFR), 7\u00a0weeks. Outcomes included subjective sleep quality as a primary outcme, polysomnographic (PSG) architecture and pain as secondary outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Sleep quality improved significantly in both groups (time effect\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001), with greater overall improvement in Group 2 (group effect\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.003). For PSG parameters, both groups improved. Compared with exercise\u00a0+\u00a0IFT, adding MFR produced greater changes in PSG N1% and REM% (Time\u00a0\u00d7\u00a0Group interaction), while other PSG parameters showed similar improvements across groups.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Physiotherapy significantly improved pain and sleep outcomes in patients with chronic neck pain.
