Filter by:Neck pain is an important public health problem with a high lifetime prevalence and frequently occurring in all industrialized countries. Clinical practice guidelines for chronic neck pain recommend conservative management. Conservative treatment includes many approaches such as endurance, stretching and strengthening exercises, manual therapy, proprioceptive exercises, pilates and yoga. In patients with chronic neck pain, atrophy of deep neck muscles, deterioration in fiber type ratio, muscle tenderness and decreased range of motion are observed. These problems cause poor cervical postural control system and thus impaired sense of proprioception, loss of balance, decreased eye movement and cervical muscle activity. Sensorimotor control of upright posture and head-eye movement relies on information from the vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems that assemble throughout the central nervous system.The cervical spine has an important role in providing proprioceptive input. This role is associated with an abundance of cervical mechanoreceptors. Recent studies have shown that proprioceptive training is associated with cervical joint position sense, joint range of motion, pain and disability. Also yoga combines physical exercises with breathing techniques and meditation and yoga is one of the most commonly used complementary treatments for neck pain.The aim of study is to determine the effectiveness of exercises for sensorimotor structure and yoga exercises with physical and meditative effects in individuals with chronic neck pain.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding virtual reality therapy to conventional treatment in patients with chronic neck pain on pain, neck disability index, kinesiophobia, insomnia severity questionnaire, hospital anxiety depression scale, cervical range of motion and pressure pain threshold.
Non-specific neck pain is defined as pain in the posterior and lateral part of the neck between the superior nuchael line and the spinous process of the 1st thoracic vertebra, without neurological findings and obvious structural pathology. It is more common in women than in men. Neck pain is thought to affect upper extremity functions. Although the exact cause is unknown, it has been reported that mechanical loading, minor peripheral nerve damage and deconditioning negatively affect upper extremity functions in individuals with neck pain and reduce the quality of life. Although it is stated in the literature that patients with neck pain often experience upper extremity problems, there are a limited number of studies evaluating the relationship between the neck and upper extremity. This study was planned to determine upper extremity functions and their impact on health-related quality of life in female patients with NSHP. Female patients with NSHP over the age of 18 who apply to Tarsus State Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic, meet the inclusion criteria, and agree to participate in the study will be included in the study. With our research, patients' upper extremity functions (hand skills, hand and finger grip strength, reaction time, position sense, upper extremity strength and endurance) and health-related quality of life will be evaluated and interpreted.
This study aims to compare the effects of both the therapies on postural changes, pain, decreased ROM, and functional disability among students suffering from Text Neck Syndrome.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Pilates compared with Cognitive Functional Therapy in adults with chronic neck pain.
This study is interested in whether baseline measures of pain sensitivity i.e. the amount of pressure required to feel pain predicts pain relief following a pain inducing massage AND whether pain relief following a pain inducing massage is different than a pain free massage or placing your hand in a cold water bath. Participants with neck pain will be randomly assigned to receive a pain inducing massage, pain free massage, or to place their hand in a cold water bath.
This study will provide better evidence that which technique is more effective in acute and subacute postural neck pain. To find out the effectiveness of Muscle energy technique (MET) and stretching exercises in acute and subacute postural neck pain.
Cervical and shoulder pain in young adults is commonly caused by intervertebral disc degeneration, bulge or herniation. Disc degeneration includes the synthetic and degradative imbalance of myxoid matrix, degeneration of annulus collagen, and decrease of water content in nucleus pulposus. A few patients with cervical degeneration had moderate to severe pain, but there are no obvious abnormalities in the shape and signal of the disc with routine MRI, which may be related to the early discal degeneration. In most cases, the pain could be relieved by non-surgical treatment due to mild decreased proteoglycan and slight abnormality of water diffusion, but these changes cannot be clearly demonstrated by routine MRI. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on sensitive MRI techniques to reflect the abnormal microstructure in the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus, so as to assist the early detection of the main reason in patients with neck and shoulder pain and the evaluation of the efficacy of treatment.
This study aims to assess the efficacy of Personalized Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (PrTMS) therapy to reduce chronic neck for military health system beneficiaries.
Nonspecific chronic neck pain (NCNP) is defined as non-specific neck pain lasting more than three months. It is a very common disease that causes a great obstacle in the daily life activities of individuals in the society. Many conservative treatment methods are used in the treatment of this disease. Among these treatment methods, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is the most widely used modality due to its low cost and many advantages. There are 4 types of TENS: Conventional, Low frequency (Acupuncture), Short intensity, Combined or Burst TENS. Conventional TENS is generally used in the treatment of chronic pain. Tele-rehabilitation is defined as the delivery of rehabilitation services via online telecommunication technologies. Tele-rehabilitation overcomes many problems such as long distance, traffic, transportation difficulties, high cost, high demand in the public health system, etc. and its popularity is increasing with the developments in technology and telecommunications. The risks and difficulties of accessing physical treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated the necessity of Tele-rehabilitation. Therefore, Tele-rehabilitation is widely used in physiotherapy as well as in many other fields. Although TENS application is widely used in the treatment of nonspecific chronic neck pain in physiotherapy clinics, there are few studies on Tele-rehabilitation, there are no studies comparing their effectiveness compared to each other in this field. In our research, it is planned to investigate and compare the effectiveness of TENS, which is an easily applied electrotherapy method, and Tele-Rehabilitation, an online rehabilitation tool. In this study, the staff of Nezahat Keleşoğlu Faculty of Health Sciences and Seydişehir Vocational School of Health Services and patients with neck pain who come to the physiotherapy unit of Meram Medical Faculty Hospital will be included in the study. As a result of the power analysis, (48) patients are planned to be included. Patients will be divided into three as Tele-rehabilitation group and TENS group and Control group. Patients will be evaluated before and after treatment and training.
