Filter by:This study aims to determine the effects of holistic spinal fascial mobilization on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic neck pain so that we can have the best treatment option for patients with chronic neck pain, the duration will be 10 months, purposive sampling will be done, subject following eligibility criteria from bahawal Victoria hospital Bahawalpur, were allocated in two groups, a baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given conventional treatment along with fascial mobilization, Group B participants were given conventional treatment, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), Neck Disability Index(NDI) and Goniometry for a range of motion,3 sessions per week were given, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.
Small clinical pilot studies have shown that vacuum massage-related techniques such as traditional dry cupping can reduce musculoskeletal pain such as back and neck pain. At the same time, little is yet known about the potential mechanisms of action of these therapies. A vacuum pump induces a massaging effect of the skin including the deeper tissue layers. The resulting massage technique corresponds to a kind of tissue manipulation similar to dry cupping. In this procedure, suction force and air flow can be individually adjusted. This is an advantage that can be used for patients with varying degrees of sensitivity or who are preloaded by patients with varying degrees of sensitivity or a history of pain. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms of action of the therapeutic effects of the vacuum cupping in chronic neck or back pain using the biomarker QST.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of scapular stabilization program on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with chronic non- specific neck pain. This study will be a randomized controlled trial and 28 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. they will be allocated into 2 groups using non- probability purposive sampling technique. Experimental group will receive relaxation exercises for the cervico-scapular region combined with SSP(scapular stabilization program). The Control group will receive relaxation exercises only. Outcome measure: Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Goniometer, and Neck Disability Index will measure pain, range of motion, and disability. The experimental group will receive a total of 45 minutes sessions, thrice a week on alternate days for 3 weeks. The Control group will receive relaxation exercises in cervico-scapular region including neck stretches, stretches of scapular muscles, and myofascial release 3 times a week for 3 weeks on alternate days. Measurements will be taken at the baseline, at the end of 3rd week and for long term effects follow- up at 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 20.
The study aims to explore whether the modified cervical and shoulder retraction exercise program restores cervical sagittal alignment and reduces neck pain in patients with non-specific neck pain.
Pain in the neck is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects many individuals. Dry needling has shown an effective technique for the treatment of shoulder and neck disorders. The mechanisms of action of the dry needling are not well-known. This study aims to evaluate the effects of dry needling in the upper trapezius on the autonomic nervous system and nociceptive pain processing in patients with non-specific neck pain. Hypothesis: Dry needling applied in the upper trapezius in patients with non-specific neck pain produced greater activation of the autonomic nervous system and nociceptive pain processing than sham dry needling.
The aim of our study is to investigate the Turkish validity and reliability of The Henry Ford Hospital Headache Disability Questionnaire (HDI), which has not been previously studied in a Turkish version for any headache type in patients with cervicogenic headache.
Acute neck is very common in the general population and often causes disability over shorter or longer time periods. Unfortunately, the efficacy of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy (CSMT) and the efficacy of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) on acute neck pain is unknown. This 4-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) will likely provide evidence for the efficacy of CSMT as well as NSAIDs. The applied methodology of the study will aim towards the highest research standards possible for manual-therapy RCTs, thus avoiding typical methodological shortcomings from previous manual-therapy studies. Our aim is to establish evidence-based knowledge on the efficacy of CSMT and NSAIDs in the treatment of acute neck pain.
In this study, the effects of an 8-week telerehabilitation-based stabilization training in persons with chronic non-specific neck pain will be investigated.
Myofascial neck syndrome has a high incidence in the general population and is characterized by the presence of painful trigger points in the neck muscles. Both the application of manual techniques such as myofascial release and the application of TENS currents to the painful points of the neck muscles have been proven to help reduce pain and improve the range of motion of the neck. 80 adults who will present at least one trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle will be randomly divided into four groups. In the first group, a combination therapy of myofascial release with conductive TENS glove will be applied, in the second group the same protocol of myofascial release without conductive glove, in the third group a high frequency (conventional) TENS, and the fourth group will get placebo TENS with the device closed. All participants will follow a total of six treatments over a period of three weeks with a follow-up after one month. The following will be evaluated before and after the intervention, as well as in the one-month follow-up: pain with the visual analog scale (VAS pain), Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) in the upper trapezius muscle with a digital algometer, range of motion (ROM) of the neck with a goniometer, and functional ability with the "Neck Disability Index" (NDI) questionnaire.
Mechanical neck pain is posteriorly occurring non-specific pain that originates from the superior nuchal line and extends to the first thoracic vertebrae. It is exacerbated by sustained neck postures, neck movements or cervical muscle palpation. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of scapular stabilization versus thoracic spine extension exercises on pain, disability and range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain.
