Filter by:Aim of this study is to investigate effectiveness of myofascial releasing on neck pain related to trigger points located on upper cervical region.
This randomized, single-blinded study will investigate the effects of Spinal Manipulative Therapy on Heart Rate Variability and Pain Sensitivity in a population of patients with recurrent and persistent neck pain. Alongside, the study will also develop a clinical test for Conditioned Pain Modulation and investigate its predictive properties.
INTRODUCTION: Cervical pain is a very common clinical condition in the world population, and can affect 70% of people at some point in life. Many of these conditions arise from musculoskeletal disorders, which may be caused by myofascial dysfunctions. Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) may be an important therapeutic tool as a means of treatment under these conditions. PURPOSE: To verify the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) on pain, disability and range of motion (ROM) in individuals with non-specific chronic neck pain. DESIGN: Randomized Clinical Trial. METHODS: The sample will consist of 46 volunteers with non-specific chronic neck pain of both sexes, aged between 18 and 60 years, who presented pain for at least 12 weeks, without irradiation to the upper limbs distally to the shoulders. Of these, those that are not excluded, will be allocated randomly in one of the two groups present: Experimental Group (GE) - IASTM in the neck and Control Group (CG) - Manual myofascial release in the neck region. A blinded evaluator will be assigned to conduct the evaluation process for both groups. DESPECTS: The outcomes will be neck pain, neck disability and range of motion of the neck.
The aim of this study is to develop a predictive model to identify which patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain are more likely to benefit from manual therapy and exercise program, or usual care.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a combined intervention of manual therapy and exercise versus usual care, on pain intensity, disability, and global perceived recovery, in patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain.
This study aim to compare a new postural garment (Posture Plus Force ®) versus exercises in women with non specific cervical pain. The investigators focus on nurses and allied health professionals due to the importance of posture in work related musculoskeletal disorders.
A multi-center randomized controlled trial assessing the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Doin (conduction exercise) with acupuncture for chronic neck pain
The observation of actions and motor imagery has demonstrated the activation of certain mechanisms similar to those that occur during active movement, which could induce immediate changes in the amplitudes of movement and sensorimotor variables in observed and imagined movements. The main aim of the study was test the immediate effect of a protocol of observed actions and motor imagery on cervical range of motion and pain intensity in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain (NSCNP). Randomized double-blind clinical trial in patients with DCCI at a primary health care center in the Community of Madrid. A random distribution of study subjects was made into two groups: a) cervical motion videos were presented at full range of motion and b) the videos presented showed a range of motion limited to 40%. In both groups, visualization tasks of actions were alternated with internal kinesthetic motor imagery, in periods of 1min in 2 consecutive series and with a total of 12 minutes of intervention. Cervical range of motion was assessed with a cervical goniometer and pain intensity immediately following the intervention with an Analog Visual Scale.
Application of trigger point dry needling can induce post-dry needling soreness. This is not a negative experience, but sometimes some patients want to reduce it as much as possible. Different therapeutic strategies targeting to decrease post-dry needling soreness need to be investigated. Since Kinesiotaping has been advocated for decreasing tone in the muscle tissues, it would be a potential intervention for this objective.
The main objective is to evaluate pain and muscle strength in the upper extremities after treatment with cervical transforaminal injection of glucocorticoid vs. transforaminal injection of local anesthetic injection in patients with cervical radiculopathy. The investigators hypothesizes that there are correlations between radiculopathy and muscle weakness.
