Filter by:Comparison between high and low frequency percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation as treatment of myofascial chronic neck pain. The main hypothesis is that low frequency treatment will have more hypoalgesic effects than high frequency, and low frequency effects will last longer.
This study aims to assess the effects of stabilization exercises on pulmonary functions and respiratory muscle strength. 42 participants with neck pain enrolled the study.
Back on Track is a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods study of a unique natural experiment that will answer the question: what is the comparative effectiveness of different payer or health-system strategies that aim to prevent unsafe opioid prescribing? The State of Oregon is enacting a Medicaid reimbursement policy to enhance access to evidence-based non-pharmacotherapeutic treatment options while restricting reimbursement for opioids for back pain. We will assess whether the policy decreases unsafe opioid prescribing and improves patient outcomes compared with usual back pain treatment practices in a comparable state, California, that is not changing Medicaid payment policy.
The effects of cervical spine manual therapy, including mobilization and manipulation, on cervical spine range of motion, joint position sense, and balance is unknown among individuals with cervicogenic headache. Previous studies have indicated improved frequency of headache, decreased perceived disability, and demonstrated improved neuromuscular function following upper cervical manipulation. Other authors report improved cervical spine range of motion, joint position sense, and balance following cervical spine manual therapy for individuals with cervicogenic dizziness. Through an experimental design, this study aims to determine the effects of cervical spine manual therapy on variables such as cervical spine range motion, joint position sense, and balance among individuals with headache of a cervical spine origin.
This study examined the effects of pain neuroscience education plus exercise when compared with exercise only in university students with chronic idiopathic neck pain.
The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in local and segmental hypersensitivity and endogenous pain inhibition in people with chronic nonspecific neck pain.
The present study aims to evaluate the differences that may be experienced in pain and cervical disability, before, during and just after the intervention of the Deep Dry Needling in the upper trapezius muscle in active, passive myofascial trigger points (MTP) or non-MTP in Patients with neck pain, assessing, in turn, the neurophysiological effects on the Autonomic Nervous System. Hypothesis: Deep Dry Needling of active myofascial trigger points produces a greater decrease of pain and cervical disability index and increase of pressure pain threshold; Than the Deep Dry Needling of Myofascial Trigger Points latent or out of Myofascial Trigger Points in patients with chronic neck pain. Objective: To determine the efficacy of Deep Dry Needling applied on Active Myofascial Triggers (MTP) vs. latent MTP versus MTP, on pain reduction and cervical disability, in patients with chronic neck pain attributable to Myofascial Pain Syndrome.
This study will compare the effect of dry needling on the active trigger point on sternocleidomastoid versus the effect of dry needling at 1.5 centimeters of active trigger point on sternocleidomastoid, both combined with ischemic compression, on cervical pain and cervical motor control short and medium term.
Nonspecific neck pain (NSNP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems treated by orthopaedic physicians and physiotherapists . NSNP has an annual incidence rate of 38 to 73% and a lifetime prevalence of approximately 48%, leading to both economic and social problems.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of chronic neck pain on sleep quality and to determine the factors that may be related to sleep disturbance.
