Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of pilates and kinesiotape applications in office workers with neck pain. In this direction, neck pain and disability, pain threshold, muscle strength, range of motion, core endurance, postural awareness and quality of life will be evaluated.
Randomized Single-Blind Clinical Trial in which the treatment will be administered through 3 sessions of dry needling in the cervical muscles's active trigger points in patients with chronic cervical pain.
Neck pain is a common disorder in industrialized countries. Manual therapy techniques have been commonly used in the treatment of this problem. Actually, there is no research work that has evaluated the work well of treatment with soft tissue techniques (massage) applied to the dorsal paravertebral muscle in the management of neck pain. The goal of this study (clinical trial) is to compare the efficacy of a massage protocol performed on the dorsal region in subjects with mechanical neck pain. The researchers will compare: A group that will be treated with a local protocol of cervical manual therapy and therapeutic exercise along with the treatment(massage) of the thoracic region. Another group that will be treated only with a local protocol of cervical manual therapy and therapeutic exercise. It is to see if the inclusion of treatment of the thoracic region improves the local intervention in cervical region.
Neck pain is a major public health concern that has been extensively studied in adults but not in children and adolescents. Mechanical neck pain became prevalent among children and adolescents, and has its impacts on functional ability. This study is aiming to investigate the correlation between Cervical spine sagittal alignment parameter (cranio-cervical angle) and functional disability in preparatory school students with mechanical cervical pain.
This study will determine whether manual dexterity is affected in individuals with neck pain compared to individuals without neck pain. It is thought that determining the changes in dexterity in individuals with neck pain compared to healthy individuals will shed light on future more detailed studies on the current subject.
The aim of this study is to investigate cervical region biomechanics, muscle performance and respiratory muscle strength in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) compared to healthy subjects.
Neck pain is a common disease in society. In studies, the annual and lifetime prevalence was found to be 37.2% and 48.5%, respectively (1). Neck pain may be axial or radicular. Causes of axial neck pain include cervical strain, discogenic pain, cervical facet pain, spondylosis, whiplash, and myofascial pain. (2) Cervical facet degeneration is a common cause of axial neck pain (3). Pain originating from the cervical facet joint is localized to the midline of the neck and increases with neck extension. (2) Diagnosis is made by physical examination and radiological imaging. The distribution patterns of pain originating from the cervical facet joint vary depending on the level of the joint involved
Neck pain is one of the common musculoskeletal problems. People with neck pain can have difficulties with daily activities and be limited in work and social participation. Main symptoms of people with neck pain include pain, decreased range of motion (ROM), muscle weakness and dysfunction. Common neck pain causes include degenerative disc disease, herniated disc disease, cervical radiculopathies, myofascial pain syndrome and viral infections. Muscular strains, postural and ergonomics are also related to neck pain and whiplash injuries. The onset of pain may be insidious or may follow trauma, and it may be recurrent or persistent in nature. Ideally, the pain goes away in 1-3 weeks, but in some cases it persists and become chronic neck pain. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of mulligan mobilization with and without sling exercises on pain, and disability in non-specific neck pain. Non-specific neck pain reduces range of motion which may be linked to mechanical restriction between two or more vertebrae and muscular spasm.
The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive Theragun technique. Group B will receive Dry Needling technique.
PURPOSES: 1. To assess the effect of chronic non-specific neck pain on peak torque of wrist extensor and flexor muscles /body weight among Egyptian physical therapy students. 2. To assess the effect of chronic non-specific neck pain on extensor / flexor wrist ratio among Egyptian physical therapy students. 3. To assess the effect of chronic non-specific neck pain on wrist extensor and flexor muscles endurance among Egyptian physical therapy students.
