Predictors of Response to Manual Physiotherapy Using Somatosensory

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate about the characteristics that predict response to physiotherapy treatment in patients with nerve related neck arm pain. The main question to answer is whether there is a subgroup that responds better to physiotherapy treatment. Participants will be assessed for clinical and neurophysiological characteristics prior to treatment. Afterwards they will receive 6 sessions of manual physiotherapy treatment along with home nerve gliding exercises once a week. Baseline measurements will be taken again after treatment to know if there have been any changes.

Clinical Trial Description

During the first visit, socio-demographic data will be collected. Then, participants will be assessed using the quantitative sensory testing (QST) to evaluate the excitability of the nervous system. In addition, questionnaires and scales will be used to obtain information on the psychosocial factors involved, neuropathic pain characteristics and on the disability caused by their situation. Finally, various clinical tests will be carried out to obtain information on neck movement and irritability at closure of the intervertebral foramen, mechanosensitivity of the upper limb with neurodynamic testing and alterations in sensitivity, strength and myotatic reflexes. Also they will be asked for permission to access to their imaging tests. Once the pre-treatment data has been obtained, the manual physiotherapy and exercise treatment will begin, which aims to reduce the irritability of the nervous system. Once the treatment is completed, the initial measurements will be repeated along with a global rating of change scale to classify patients as responders vs. non-responders. ;
