The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of modified pilates exercises on neck pain, deep neck flexor muscles edurance, joint position sense and functionality in patients with chronic neck pain.
Kinesiophobia which is described as fear of movement reduces physical activity levels and increases the risk of chronic pain. We consider that kinesiophobia levels were higher in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome and chronic neck pain so that physical activity levels were lower in this patients groups. Because there are not enough studies, we aimed to evaluate kinesiophobia and physical activity levels in this patients.
There is preliminary evidence suggesting that referred pain from active trigger points can play a relevant role in individuals with mechanical neck pain. Some studies have investigated the effectiveness of dry needling over the upper trapezius muscle in this population. However, other muscles, such as the scalene muscles, can be also relevant for neck pain symptoms. No study has investigated the effects of the application of dry needling over active trigger points in the scalenes muscles in a sample of patients with mechanical neck pain.
This study will be conducted in the Department of physical therapy, College of Applied Medical Sciences,Jazan University, to investigate text neck syndrome and hand grip force in smart phone addiction among students of jazan university
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of smartphone usage duration on neck pain and sense of position as well as Deep Cervical Flexor (DCF) fatigue in young and middle aged patients with chronic mechanical neck pain. BACKGROUND: Neck pain is one of most common causes of musculoskeletal disorders with a prevalence up to 86.8 %. It may interfere with the ability to perform normal activities of daily living (ADL). Patients with neck pain may present with reduced Rang of Motion (ROM) and diminished cervical position sense. There are many risk factors that have been associated with neck pain including physiological factors such as age or pathomechanical factors such as increased physical demand on the spine. Smartphone use has been proposed as a risk factor for the development of neck pain in young adults due to sustaining a prolonged static posture or repeating particular neck movements for long period. The adverse effects of smartphone increases as the duration of the use increases. Aging is associated with increased cervical reposition error and reduced DCF muscle endurance, yet it is not clear how older adults will respond to prolonged use of smartphone. HYPOTHESES: Increased duration of smartphone use will 1. increase neck pain in middle aged compared to young adult patients with chronic mechanical. 2. decrease cervical position sense in middle aged compared to young adult patients with chronic mechanical neck pain. 3. increase DCF fatigue in middle aged compared to young adult patients with chronic mechanical neck pain. RESEARCH QUESTION: Would increased duration of smartphone usage accentuate neck pain, cervical reposition error and DCF fatigue in middle aged compared to young adults with chronic mechanical neck pain?
This study investigates the effect of two different techniques (deep dry needling and superficial dry needling) on the latent myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius. Subjects with latent Myofascial trigger point in this location of the muscle will be identified and will be randomly assigned to one out of the three groups: deep dry needling, superficial dry needling or sham dry needling in gastrocnemius muscle. cervical range of motion and pain pressure threshold in the upper trapezius will be registered before, immediately after the intervention, at 24 hours after the intervention, at 72 hours after the intervention and a week after the intervention
This pilot study established a minimally invasive biopsy technique to obtain high-quality MTrP tissue samples to evaluate mitochondrial function via high-resolution respirometry.
Neck pain is a complex biopsychosocial disorder often precipitated or aggravated by neck movements or sustained neck postures. The onset and course of this pain are influenced by environmental and personal factors. Many studies report that participants preferred self-care measures for the management of neck pain and they sought professional help only when those measures fail.
Some cases of acute antero-lateral cervical pain cannot be accurately classified by medical imaging (ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance imaging and/or CT-scan) : imaging rules out carotid dissection, carotid occlusion or vasculitis as well as musculoskeletal causes and thus the pain is considered "of unknown origin". The investigators hypothesize that in such cases perivascular inflammation of the carotid may be involved. This study aims at systematically reviewing medical files (including imaging) of patients suffering from acute cervical pain in which carotid dissection, carotid occlusion or vasculitis as well as musculoskeletal causes have been ruled out by ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance imaging and/or CT-scan
