INTRODUCTION Non-specific chronic neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders today. Factors related to neck pain are diverse and can affect the person in different ways. In order to determine the appropriate physical therapy and rehabilitation program for patients, the functional status of the patients should be evaluated carefully and the factors affecting this situation and the relationships between them should be taken into account. Parameters such as pain, balance, disability, muscular performance are associated with neck pain. The aim of our study is to examine the relationship between pain and kinesophobia and muscle performance, balance and dual task in individuals with nonspecific chronic neck pain and to compare them with asymptomatic individuals. Materials and Methods: The study included 44 individuals aged 18-65 who applied to Kırıkkale University Faculty of Medicine Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic and were diagnosed with non-specific chronic neck pain by a specialist, and 44 asymptomatic individuals between the ages of 18-65 who did not experience neck pain for the last 1 year for the control group. will be. A total of 88 individuals will be included. We will evaluate kinesiophobia, pain density, muscles performance, dual task etc. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION: Data acquired at the end of this study will be compared by using appropriate statistical methods and then it will be discussed in comparison with national and international literature.
It is an interventional study that proves the eficacy of the manual therapy with active manual therapy and combined with exercise in cervical pain.
No previous randomized control trial has investigated the effectiveness of Bowen's technique on health status in dentists suffering from postural neck Neck pain. Moreover, there is limited evidence and low agreement regarding the effect of Bowen's therapy on Neck pain. Thus, this study aims to answer the question: bowmen's technique is effective for improving Neck pain dentists' function by reducing pain, and disability, and improving posture, and health status, without need for ergonomic alternation?"
In this study we will prospectively examine the safety and clinical effects of ultrasound-guided cervical medial branch blocks.
Background: The current physical therapy evidence for treating patients with the mechanical neck pain recommends both, manual therapy (MT) and dry needling (DN) along with cervical and scapulothoracic exercises.1 However, at present, investigators still don't have any evidence suggesting if one treatment approach, the manual therapy and exercises or dry needling and exercises, is superior to the other in treating patients with the mechanical neck pain. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of dry needling and manual therapy on pain, disability, range of motion, strength, and patient perceived improvements in the patients with mechanical neck pain. Methods: Investigators will conduct a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial in accordance with the CONSORT guidelines. Patients with primary complain of neck pain, with a minimum score of 2 on Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), a minimum of 10 points or 20% score of Neck Disability Index (NDI), and who are over the age of 18 will be enrolled in the study. Subjects with any red flags, history of surgery at the cervical or thoracic spine, neurological symptoms, nerve root compression, whiplash in the last 6 weeks, pending legal actions related to neck pain, on workers compensation, insufficient English language skills, and/or contraindications to dry needling or manual therapy, will be excluded from the study. A total of 75 patients will be recruited for the study, who will be randomized to two groups - (1) Dry Needling and Therapeutic Exercises (DNTEx) and (2) Manual Therapy and Therapeutic Exercises (MTTEx). All participants will be treated for seven physical therapy treatment sessions of 30 minutes each over a maximum of 6 weeks. The primary outcome measure will NDI, which will evaluate disability of patients. While secondary outcome measures would be: NPRS (score range from 0 to 10) to assess pain, Patient-Specific Functional Scale [PSFS], (score ranges from 3 to 30) will measure a patient-specific measure of function important significant to them, Range of Motion (ROM) will measure changes in the motion of flexion, extension, bilateral rotation, and bilateral side-bending at the cervical spine, The Neck Flexor Endurance Test (NFET) will measure the improvement in the endurance of neck flexor muscles, Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire (FABQ) will measure patients' fear of pain with movements and resulting avoidance of physical activity because of their fear, and The Patient Global Rating of Change (GROC) will measure each patient's self-perceived improvement. An assessor, who is blinded to the group allocation, will collect all outcome measures at baseline, 2weeks, discharge session/7th treatment session, and 3 months after discharge/7th treatment session. An a priori alpha level of 0.05 will be used for all analyses. Investigators will examine the primary aim with a repeated-measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), using pretest scores as covariates, with treatment groups (Dry needling + Exercise Vs. MT + Exercise) as the between subjects' independent variables and time (baseline, 2 weeks, Discharge [7 sessions], 12 weeks post discharge) as the within-subjects independent variable. The hypothesis of interest is the 2-way group * time interaction.
Since TMJ and cervical pain incidence are rising and both structures are highly interrelated anatomically and functionally. And yet no standard protocol for TMD therapy The objective of this study is to state if there is a correlation between TMD and cervical dysfunction. To help reach a better diagnosis and a more holistic treatment. Forty volunteers (15 male and 25 female) between the ages of 20 to 40 were recruited. Cervical ROM was measured in all directions (rotation, flexion and extension, and sidebending) by CROM device, and a 10 cm plastic ruler marked in both centimeters and millimeters was used to measure TMJ vertical opening.
The aim of the study is to translate the neck disability index (NDI) questionnaire into Pushto, Punjabi, Sindhi and Balochi versions and o test the validity & reliability of translated versions of NDI among neck pain patients in Pakistan.
Chronic neck pain has a high prevalence in developed countries, being one of the main causes of years lived with disability and deterioration of the quality of life. Telerehabilitation is presented as a resource capable of favoring, with its development and implementation, the transition to a universal and quality health service. The main objective of the study is to assess the change in disability produced by a telerehabilitation program (applied in the intervention group) in patients with chronic and nonspecific neck pain compared to the recommendation of home exercises (control group). The study that will be carried out will be a controlled and randomized clinical trial (ECCA), single-blind, longitudinal and prospective with two groups (intervention group and control group). The main study variables that are intended to be analyzed pre and post intervention are disability, quality of life, pain, adherence, and depression and anxiety. The study will take place between June 2020 and May 2021 in specialized physiotherapy clinics.
In study, the researchers examine the effectiveness of digital-based exercises in patients with chronic neck pain.The planned study has 2 main objectives: - Increase exercise adherence with mhealth apps. - To reduce pain and disability of patients with chronic neck pain.
