Filter by:The investigators will evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment (MSAT) therapy for acute neck pain compared to acupuncture.
Introduction: Neck pain is a global public health concern, that ranked 4th highest health condition in terms of disability as measured by years lived with disability. The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of one-session mesotherapy application with systemic therapy in treating neck pain related to cervical disk herniation. Methods: This is a prospective parallel randomized controlled trial conducted with patients admitted to our emergency department with neck pain related to cervical disc herniation. A mixture of thiocolchicoside, lidocaine and tenoxicamwas administered via mesotherapy in one group, and intravenous administration of dexketoprofen was applied to the other group. We compared the changes in pain intensity at 60thminute, 120thminute and 24th hours after treatment using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS),and adverse effects of the treatment methods among the study groups.
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in female healthcare students and to assess its association with oral parafunctions, neck pain and function. Methods: Female medical students will be included in the study on a voluntary basis using stratified sampling method according to the department they were being educated. The presence and severity of TMD will be assessed with the Fonseca's Anamnestic Index (FAI). The oral parafunctions will be self-reported with the Oral Behavior Checklist (OBC). The neck pain and function will be recorded with the Core Outcome Measure Index (COMI). A Chi-square test and Spearman correlation analysis will used for statistical analysis.
The aim of this study is to assess the effects of radial shock wave therapy in neck pain. For this objective, subjects recruited will be allocated in an experimental group or a placebo group. Both groups will receive one manual therapy and radial shock waves therapy (real for experimental group, a sham device for placebo group) session per week along one month. Neck pain, neck function, temporomandibular pain, temporomandibular function and quality of life measured will be performed before the intervention, after the last treatment and at one month follow-up.
The study will be described the development and implementation of the Clinical pathway (CPW) for acupuncture treatment in the management of patients with some chronic pain conditions. The effectiveness of this CPW will be explored in this study through retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes after administration of acupuncture treatment summarised in the guidelines.
controversy remains about the stretching parameters needed to achieve a particular goal or treatment outcome. In clinical practice, multiple stretching techniques are used; nevertheless, there is no evidence-based agreement on the most effective parameters. One of these parameters, that might be affecting the treatment outcome the most, is the stretching duration, thus far there is a little agreement on the optimal stretching duration. This non agreement in exact stretching parameters is obvious between authors and researchers in the field of muscle energy techniques (MET) as well as those who have used and advocate various durations for the passive stretch that follows the contraction phase in MET.
Manual wheelchairs allow individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI) to safely and effectively access their environment. However, continual exposure to whole body vibration (WBV) is one of many contributing factors to neck pain, back pain, and fatigue in wheelchair users with SCI. Vibration-reducing in-wheel suspension has the potential to mitigate issues associated with long-term manual wheelchair propulsion. Evidence is lacking on how well these systems work for reducing harmful shock and vibration, pain and fatigue. The purpose of this study is to examine how these wheels change the vibration levels manual wheelchair users are exposed to and how they impact pain and fatigue.
Using computer for long hours is related to higher risk of computer related muscular disorders like forward head posture and neck pain. Deep cervical flexor muscles are important head-on-neck posture stabilizers thus their training may lead to improvement in forward head posture (FHP) and neck pain (NP).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an individually tailored self-management intervention, the selfBACK app, in improving health status in patients on a waiting list for outpatient rehabilitation due to low back and/or neck pain compared to a non-tailored web-based self-management solution (e-Help) and usual care only.
Neck pain is the second most common musculoskeletal pain after lumbar pain. Prevalence is 27.2% female and 17.4% in male population (1, 2). Approximately 1/3 of acute onset neck aches become chronic. It causes increasing the cost of treatment and also the loss of labor (3, 4).
