Filter by:Neck pain has a global prevalence of 30%, being the fourth leading cause of disability among general population and is more prevalent among females than males, as per concluded by evidence. It is undoubtedly the need of time, to address its proper treatment and to hinder its recurrence amongst the general population. The current physical therapy management of neck pain is more focused towards achieving the short term goals for the patient rather than addressing and amending the actual cause of its relapse. Manual Myofascial Release is one of the very effective treatment used to release soft tissue and fascial adhesions over the myofascia inorder to relieve chronic neck pain. The study aims to compare this manual treatment against Instrument Assisted soft tissue mobilization in order to determine which of the two provides improved outcome in terms of pain, neck disability and cervical Range of motion.
The aim of this research is to determine the Effects of cervical rehabilitation program on neck pain, ROM and disability after thyroidectomy. Randomized controlled trials will be done at Pakistan ordinance factory (POF) Hospital. The sample size will be 52. The subjects were divided in two groups, with 26 subjects in Group A and 26 in Group B. Study duration will be of 6 months. Sampling technique applied will be Non probability Convenience Sampling technique. Both males and females of aged 30-50 years with thyroidectomy will be included. Tools used in the study are Numeric Pain Rating Score (NPRS), goniometer and neck disability index (NDI).
The goal of this study is to identify and develop multiparametric quantitative ultrasound imaging (QUI) biomarkers for assessing upper trapezius muscle with and without chronic neck pain and their response to treatment. This goal will be achieved by testing the underlying hypothesis that abnormal muscle tissue can be identified based on its physio-mechanical properties, and that changes in these properties can be used to guide and monitor treatment progress. Preliminary results have shown that biomarkers including muscle B-mode ultrasound echo-intensity, shear wave velocity, and longitudinal strain ratios associated with muscle tissue structure, mechanics, and function significantly differ between muscles in low back pain and neuromuscular disorders and normal muscles. This study will determine which biomarkers are best suited to differentiate abnormal muscle in chronic neck pain from healthy muscles and develop a quantitative objective program for chronic neck pain management.
Non-specific neck pain (NSBA) is defined as pain in the posterior and lateral parts of the neck in the absence of neurological and specific pathologies (fracture, infection, inflammation, etc.) between the superior nuchael line and the 1st thoracic vertebra. The lifetime neck pain rate is approximately 12-70%; Neck pain is the reason for admission in approximately 25% of applications to outpatient clinics of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic. Neck pain is the most common spinal problem after low back pain, and it is defined as nonspecific neck pain due to its multifactorial etiology. Many conservative treatment methods are used in the treatment of NSBA. These include medical treatments, exercise, massage, acupuncture, neural therapy and physical therapy modalities. The basis of Mulligan's theory is based on a positional error that develops secondarily, causing misplacement of the joint. With the Mulligan mobilization technique, the joint is displaced to normal and positional error is corrected. Restoration of motion is aimed by repositioning the bone. The main indication in this technique is increased pain, stiffness and weakness in movement. The Mulligan mobilization technique is performed by asking for active movement while maintaining a manually applied joint shift. Painless movement is aimed at the joint. According to the general principles of Mulligan treatment, all techniques are applied in a way that does not cause pain and creates an effect that will eliminate the pain in a short time after the application.
Neck pain is an important public health problem with a high lifetime prevalence and frequently occurring in all industrialized countries. Clinical practice guidelines for chronic neck pain recommend conservative management. Conservative treatment includes many approaches such as endurance, stretching and strengthening exercises, manual therapy, proprioceptive exercises, pilates and yoga. In patients with chronic neck pain, atrophy of deep neck muscles, deterioration in fiber type ratio, muscle tenderness and decreased range of motion are observed. These problems cause poor cervical postural control system and thus impaired sense of proprioception, loss of balance, decreased eye movement and cervical muscle activity. Sensorimotor control of upright posture and head-eye movement relies on information from the vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems that assemble throughout the central nervous system.The cervical spine has an important role in providing proprioceptive input. This role is associated with an abundance of cervical mechanoreceptors. Recent studies have shown that proprioceptive training is associated with cervical joint position sense, joint range of motion, pain and disability. Also yoga combines physical exercises with breathing techniques and meditation and yoga is one of the most commonly used complementary treatments for neck pain.The aim of study is to determine the effectiveness of exercises for sensorimotor structure and yoga exercises with physical and meditative effects in individuals with chronic neck pain.
Neck pain is a widespread problem in the general population and is second only to low back pain in musculoskeletal issues.
This is a two-group, cluster randomized controlled trial designed to assess a health promoting intervention in the home care sector. The intervention aims to evenly distribute the patients requiring high levels of demanding care across all workers on the units, which may lower the working strain and thus the incidence of musculoskeletal pain. The two groups in the study will be a control group and an intervention group. The intervention will last for approximately 4 months.
Neck pain is among the causes of morbidity that causes disability. Although it is not life-threatening, neck pain is one of the most important reasons for a decrease in the workforce. Since there is a close anatomical, musculoskeletal and neural connection between the cervical region and the thoracic spine, neck pain can affect respiratory functions by causing biomechanical changes in the thoracic spine and rib cage. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise and high-intensity interval training, which are known to have an effect on both the musculoskeletal system and respiratory functions, on the respiratory parameters and musculoskeletal system disorders and clinical outcomes of people with neck pain when applied with an arm ergometer.
SCAPULO-THORACIC MOBILIZATION COMPARED TO IASTM IN PATIENTS WITH MECHANICAL NECK PAIN
Neck pain is common in the adult general population, disabling and costly Lifetime, which constituted a great problem facing the mother during breast feeding period. The studies showed that poor knowledge and wrong position for breastfeeding influence their own health as well as baby's health. Stretching exercises are one of the manual physical therapy methods that can be used in the treatment of mechanical neck pain) Muscle energy techniques (MET) were originally developed to treat soft tissue, mobilize joints, stretch tight muscles and fascia, reduce pain and to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. This study aims at applying stretching along with MET technique (post isometric relaxation) to see the combined effect of these two techniques and comparing that group with another one that is only applied stretching and baseline treatment. A randomized clinical trial will be undertaken. Non probability convenient sampling will be used. Forty-six patients with neck pain and muscular spasm will be randomly allocated. Twenty-three participants will be allocated with lottery method in each group. The former group will receive Stretching with MET (post isometric relaxation), and the latter group will receive static stretching only. Both groups will also receive baseline therapy. Treatment will be given once a day daily for 14 days. A visual analogue scale (VAS) will be used to measure the intensity of pain and MMJ questionnaire for muscular spasm. Data will be collected before and at the end of treatment at the 14th day. To analyze data SPSS version 29 will be used.
