Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of applying monopolar dielectric radiofrequency diathermy plus therapeutic neck yoga with performing only therapeutic neck yoga in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain.

Clinical Trial Description

Chronic non-specific neck pain (CNNP) is a widespread public health problem in the modern world. CNNP is considered persistent neck pain or severe neck discomfort for more than 3 months, which is caused by poor posture and mechanical and degenerative changes, excluding pain due to neck cancer, infections, hernias or other neck disorders or pathologies. In the general population, 71% of adults have neck pain at some time in their lives, and its annual prevalence in the general and working population varies between 30% and 50%. In addition, CNNP is an important cause of work absenteeism and disability. The research of effective techniques and therapies in the approach of this ailment is a current need within the field of physiotherapy and would mean a reduction of the direct and indirect costs in the health systems generated by patients diagnosed with non-specific chronic neck pain. One of the therapies that is achieving positive results in the symptomatology of different musculoskeletal pathologies such as fibromyalgia syndrome , multiple sclerosis or femoropatellar pain syndrome, is the technique of applying monopolar electric diathermy by radiofrequency emission (MDR), using the Physicalm® device which produces an increase in local temperature due to the action of electromagnetic waves that stimulate tissue metabolism and reduce pain. Due to all the structural and functional alterations that occur in CNNP, within clinical practice guidelines exercise is one of the most important components in rehabilitation programs for patients with neck pain. Recently, supervised therapeutic exercise has been included as a common intervention in clinical practice worldwide. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
