Filter by:This study will provide better evidence that which technique is more effective in acute and subacute postural neck pain. To find out the effectiveness of Muscle energy technique (MET) and stretching exercises in acute and subacute postural neck pain.
To investigate the reliability and sensitivity of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, and Pain Catastrophizing Scale in patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain undergoing multidisciplinary rehabilitation and to determine the most appropriate minimally clinically significant difference values in order to increase confidence in their use in clinical practice and research for this patient population. Therefore, the current study aims to evaluate the answerability and minimal clinical significance of the Turkish versions of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, Tampa Kinesiophobia scale, and Pain Catastrophizing scales in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain.
Early screening of posttraumatic neck pain after accidents - A clinical prediction tool with biomarkers predicting chronic posttraumatic neck pain. The goal of this prospective cohort study is to develop a clinical prediction tool with biomarkers for early prediction of chronic posttraumatic neck pain. Aims: 1. validate and further develop an existing prediction and screening tool for post traumatic neck pain using biomarkers for stress (i.e. HRV). The investigators hypothesize that the addition of a HRV to the existing screening and prediction tool in the acute phase (i.e. < 72 hours) post-accident can contribute to better and earlier identification of high-risk patients who continue to experience moderate to high degree of impairment after 12 months (i.e. NDI >32%). 2. examine whether the health economic costs for the group that does not improve are greater after 12 months. The investigators hypothesize that the health economic costs for the group that does not improve are greater after 12 months (labour market attachment and health services) compared to those who improve (NDI score < 10% vs. > 32%). 3. evaluate the role of low HRV on the development of PTSD 3 month after the accident. the hypothesis is that low HRV is a predictor of the development of PTSD.3 month after an accident. 4. Evaluate whether PTSD mediates the association between low HRV and pain sensitization 3 months after the accident. The investigators hypothesize that the development of pain sensitivity 3 month after an accident is associated with low HRV and PTSD. Following inclusion participants will undergo evaluation of: Hart rate variability using Fristbeat Bodyguard II, neurologic screening, Cervical range of motion screening. At followup (1- and 3-months) participants will undergo evaluation of. Evaluation of cervical range of motion, Quantitative sensory testing (pressure pain threshold, cold pressor test followed by pressure pain threshold. Questionnaires: Acute self-reported stress (NRS), Expected improvement (0-100%), Pain (Short Form -McGill pain questionnaire) Neck disability index, Stress, anxiety and depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, Pain catastrophizing, Quality of life, Global rating of change, Self-reported sleep, Comorbidity, Physical Activity. At 6- and 12- month: Evaluation of heart rate variability and the questionnaires from 1- week and 3 months will be repeated.
Consultant and senior registrars performing microsurgery will be invited to participate in this Study. The study will take place at single site (Beaumont Hospital). A questionnaire to collect demographic information (age, height, sex, year of training, prior neck trauma or know neck issues) will be given to the consented surgeons. Additionally, surgery characteristics will be recorded (procedure, surgeon role (i.e lead or assisting), table height, frequency of adjustment of table height, and use of sitting or step stool, headlight, and/or loupes for >50% of the procedure). A postural training device, Upright Go 2 will be positioned at the spinous process of the cervical vertebrae of each surgeon and used to measure neck positions during microsurgical procedures. The device will be calibrated to an ideal neutral cervical spine position, so that excessive flexion and extension of the neck can be recorded. The device contains built-in sensors that provide bio-feedback in the form of gentle vibrations if posture has deviated from neutral position. During the first stage of the study the device will be set to record cervical spine positioning without bio-feedback signals. This will be used to record duration of time surgeons held maladaptation postures. The second stage will involve real-time feedback through the device. For surgeons who consent, bio-feedback signals will be given once deviated from a neutral posture for >1 minute. Response of surgeons to bio-feedback signals will also be recorded. The Neck Disability index score will be used to assess for neck pain and the functional implications in relation to reported neck pain. This will be completed following study completion.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare physical therapy treatments in people with neck pain. The main aim is to compare the short-term effectiveness of physical therapy treatment for neck pain as delivered through Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) as compared to the Cervical Spine Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) in patients with neck pain. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive treatment according to MDT or CPG guidelines. Researchers will compare outcomes between the two groups over 1 year.
This study will be conducted to explore the superiority of effectiveness between Muscle energy technique combined with Deep Neck Flexors training, MET alone, or DNF training alone in terms of pain intensity, neck function, forward head posture, cervical range of motion and Deep Neck Flexors Muscles endurance in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain(CMNP).
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of combined treatment with paravertebral oxygen-ozone injections and topical patches containing Cannabidiol and β-Caryophyllene in patients with neck pain by evaluating the following aspects: - Reduction of pain - Reduction of disability associated with neck pain
The study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of home therapy method due to the difficulties experienced by caregivers of individuals with special needs in accessing physiotherapy and rehabilitation services for chronic neck and back pain.
This study will investigate the effect of subthreshold stimulation on pain and muscle activity in patients with chronic low neck pain and myofascial trigger points.
This study sets out to investigate the potential effect of auditory disturbances on human movement
