Treatment of Cervical Syndrome With Myofascial Therapies — MRH  

Cervical Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title: Treatment of Cervical Syndrome With Myofascial Therapies

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effects of myofascial release therapy (MRT) for improving pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), range of motion and pain in patients with mechanical neck pain (NP).

Clinical Trial Description

Fifty-four participants with NP were randomly allocated to either an MRT (five sessions) or a physical therapy (PT) groups (ten sessions) during two weeks. Multimodal PT program included: ultrasound therapy (US), transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) and massage. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), range of motion and (CROM) PPTs in sub-occipital and upper trapezius muscles were measured at baseline, at the end of treatment and at 1 month follow-up. T-tests and a repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance (RM-MANOVA) were used for VAS, CROM and PPTs, respectively. ;
