Filter by:This study aims to compare the effects of both the therapies on postural changes, pain, decreased ROM, and functional disability among students suffering from Text Neck Syndrome.
Nonspecific chronic neck pain (NCNP) is defined as non-specific neck pain lasting more than three months. It is a very common disease that causes a great obstacle in the daily life activities of individuals in the society. Many conservative treatment methods are used in the treatment of this disease. Among these treatment methods, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is the most widely used modality due to its low cost and many advantages. There are 4 types of TENS: Conventional, Low frequency (Acupuncture), Short intensity, Combined or Burst TENS. Conventional TENS is generally used in the treatment of chronic pain. Tele-rehabilitation is defined as the delivery of rehabilitation services via online telecommunication technologies. Tele-rehabilitation overcomes many problems such as long distance, traffic, transportation difficulties, high cost, high demand in the public health system, etc. and its popularity is increasing with the developments in technology and telecommunications. The risks and difficulties of accessing physical treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated the necessity of Tele-rehabilitation. Therefore, Tele-rehabilitation is widely used in physiotherapy as well as in many other fields. Although TENS application is widely used in the treatment of nonspecific chronic neck pain in physiotherapy clinics, there are few studies on Tele-rehabilitation, there are no studies comparing their effectiveness compared to each other in this field. In our research, it is planned to investigate and compare the effectiveness of TENS, which is an easily applied electrotherapy method, and Tele-Rehabilitation, an online rehabilitation tool. In this study, the staff of Nezahat Keleşoğlu Faculty of Health Sciences and Seydişehir Vocational School of Health Services and patients with neck pain who come to the physiotherapy unit of Meram Medical Faculty Hospital will be included in the study. As a result of the power analysis, (48) patients are planned to be included. Patients will be divided into three as Tele-rehabilitation group and TENS group and Control group. Patients will be evaluated before and after treatment and training.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of two different physiotherapy methods on non-specific neck pain in working age individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of self stretching exercise on non-specific neck pain, functional disability, range of motion of the cervical spine and hand muscle strength in working age individuals? - What is the effect of post-isometric relaxation exercise on non-specific neck pain, functional disability, range of motion of the cervical spine and hand muscle strength in working age individuals? - Is any of the applied interventions (self-stretching or post-isometric relaxation exercise) superior to each other? Participants will: - be evaluated by an experienced physiotherapist who will perform the interview and physical examination. Interview includes questions about the age, sex, work profile, pain intensity and duration, and other complaints. Physiotherapy examination includes a range of motion measurement, hand grip muscle strength and functional disability index evaluation. - Two different interventions will be prescribed to the randomly assigned study participants: post-isometric relaxation and self-stretching. Duration of interventions for both groups is 4 weeks (3 times per week, 12 sessions). Duration of one session - 45 min.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Mulligan concept Reverse Natural Apophysial Glide Technique (RNAGS)technique applied to the thoracic region on pain, limitation of movement, and functionality in individuals with mechanical neck pain.
Non-specific neck pain (NSNP) is defined as pain not associated with neurological and specific pathologies in the posterior and lateral part of the neck between the superior nuchal line and the first thoracic vertebra. Many conservative treatment modalities including different exercise techniques are used in the treatment of NSNP. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the effect of these techniques.
The aim of study was to investigate the effect of cervical stabilization exercises (CSE) combined with tDCS on functional status, cognitive functions and sleep quality in individuals with chronic neck pain. A total of 29 individuals with chronic neck pain (33.06±14.81 age) were included in the study. Combined CSE with tDCS (2 mA/20 min) was applied to the experimental group (n=10); only CSE was applied to the control group (n=10); placebo tDCS (0 mA/20 min) and CSE were applied to the sham group (n=9). Before and after the 8-week intervention comprising a total of 16 sessions, the following assessments were carried out: Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire (NBQ), Cervical Muscle Endurance Tests, The Profile Fitness Mapping Neck Questionnaire (ProFitMap-neck), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Trail Making Test (TMT) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (pPNS) is a physical therapy technique, whose main objective is to treat neuro-musculo-skeletal signs and symptoms by applying a current to a peripheric nerve with a blunt dry needle. Despite its clinical use being already stablished, its use in pathologic subjects is still unknown and, thus, so is its optimal parameterization. The present study proposes to perform two different protocols of peripheral nerve stimulation on neck and low back pain subjects to answer those questions and compared it towards a control group receiving a standard intervention.
This study aims to investigate the effects of exercise interventions on neck muscle morphometry and composition in individuals with chronic non specific neck pain. The participants will be randomly assigned to either a moderate intensity or a high intensity neck strengthening program. The primary outcomes include neck disability. Secondary outcomes include changes in muscle volume and fat infiltration in the neck muscles measured using MRI, pain intensity, anxiety, and depression. The results of this study will contribute the future rehabilitation strategies.
This study will be a pilot randomized controlled trial, comparing the effectiveness of two modes of delivery of the same 6-week exercise program for chronic non-specific neck pain. The first group will be monitored via the software that records each session so the therapist can review, and the second will have written instructions on paper to follow through by them themselves. Pre-test and post-test measurements (pain score, disability index, cervical ROM, cervical muscle endurance) will be taken, before and after completion of the exercise programme.
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.
