Filter by:This project is a Randomized clinical trial, will be conducted to check the comparative effects of scapular stabilization versus scapular functional exercises in patients with chronic neck pain. Study duration will be of 8 months, convenient sampling will be done, subject following eligibility criteria from Amina Physical therapy and rehab Centre Lahore, will be randomly allocated in two groups, baseline assessment will be done, Group A participants will be given baseline treatment along with scapular stabilization exercises, Group B participants will be given baseline treatment along with scapular functional exercises. Assessment will be done in 4th week and 8th week via, Visual analogue scale for neck pain, Function of neck will be assessed by Neck disability index and inclinometer measurements of cervical ranges,3 sessions per week will be given, data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 21.
The purpose of the project is to investigate if the use of virtual reality (VR) technology with pre-programmed proprietary software can provide better treatment for patients with long-term pain conditions. This is investigated in this pilot study conducted on patients referred to outpatient treatment at the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The pilot study will lay the foundation for a follow-up study (RCT). The effect of VR are evaluated by patient reporting forms; before start-up and 3 months after startup. Patients included in the study receive standard treatment supplemented with the use of VR technology. The therapists involved will be Interviewed to examine their experiences with the use of the VR-technology in the treatment of patients. VR technology can potentially contribute to better treatment (e.g. measured in outcomes such as activity, sleep problems, pain intensity, quality of life). Moreover we expect that a VR-assisted treatment to be more cost-effective and increased availability regardless of geography and demography.
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CP) is a major public health concern. Psychosocial treatments have been shown to be efficacious when compared to largely inert control conditions, but they are characterized by modest effects on primary outcomes. One strategy to boost efficacy is to increase our understanding of treatment mediators. Studies of mediators that directly compare different treatments with each other are needed to determine which mediators are treatment-specific, which are shared across treatments, and which contribute the most to clinical outcomes. Another strategy is to identify the patient characteristics that moderate treatment responses. Research is needed that is guided by theoretical models and that tests moderators across multiple treatments. Identifying subgroups of patients more likely to respond to one or another treatment can advance precision medicine by informing a priori patient-treatment matches that can optimize treatment effects. To accomplish these goals, the authors will conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the mediators and moderators of the clinical effects of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) on adults with chronic spinal (axial) pain. Following baseline assessment of outcome variables as well as potential mediators and moderators, 460 participants will be randomized to CBT, ACT, EAET, or treatment-as-usual control (TAU). The three treatments will be conducted as individual therapy provided weekly for 8 weeks via telehealth. The researchers will conduct weekly assessments of both potential mediators and outcomes, as well as post-treatment and 6-month follow-up assessments. The goal of the study is to identify the most powerful treatment mechanisms - specific and shared -- and reveal for whom the mediator-outcome pathways are strongest.This project can increase the effects of our psychosocial chronic pain treatments by identifying the most effective treatment mechanisms and by informing patient-treatment matches that can optimize treatment effects.
The investigators aim to investigate the relationship between delivery kinetics, physiological responses and clinical outcomes following spinal manipulation. Neck pain participants will be randomised to attend two intervention sessions and will receive either a single cervical spine manipulation or mobilization (one set of central posterior-anterior mobilizations applied with either a crossed-thumb or pisiform contact) at the most painful level. Participants without neck pain will attend a single experimental session, where all measurement procedures will be the same as for neck pain participants with the exception that no treatment will be delivered.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of conventional physical therapy with and without cervical proprioceptive training using head-mounted laser system on cervical joint position sense error, pain, cervical range of motion and neck disability index. Proprioception disturbs in any function and structural impairments that is mechanical neck pain. Different studies has been done to find out the best therapy for pain management. Aim of the researcher is to give cost-effective, not so time-consuming, most effective physical therapy treatment. A literature gap exists on the effects of proprioceptive training combined with conventional physical therapy, no studies have directly compared the effect of proprioceptive training using head-mounted laser with and without conventional physical therapy. In our clinical setting, proprioceptive training for mechanical neck pain is not used as much as it should be. It would be a new thing to add and it can be cost-effective and better treatment for symptoms resolution
A Quasi-experimental study will investigate the effect of dry cupping massage versus myofascial release on patients with mechanical neck pain.

Three-arm randomized controlled trial, of Motivational Interviewing and guided Opioid Tapering support (MI-Opioid Taper) and tizanidine vs. MI-Opioid Taper and placebo vs. enhanced usual care to promote postoperative opioid cessation and pain cessation and reduce the incidence of postoperative opioid misuse among patients undergoing spine surgery.
Objective: The aim of this online cross-sectional survey is to determine the association between a combination of lifestyle factors and the presence of musculoskeletal pain (neck pain, low back pain and/or temporomandibular pain), in the Belgian adult population. Methods: Belgian adults from the general population will be recruited using non-probability sampling (convenience and snowballing). The survey will be available online for a period of 6 months on LimeSurvey software. Multivariable logistic regression analyses will be performed to determine the association between a combination of lifestyle factors (sleep, physical activity, stress, weight, smoking, nutrition) and the presence of musculoskeletal pain. Discussion: The results of the study will provide data about associations between a combination of lifestyle factors and the presence of musculoskeletal pain. This could strengthen current evidence about the importance of adhering to a healthy lifestyle and improve understanding of its association with musculoskeletal pain.
