This study is designed to compare the short term effects of two different thoracic spine
thrust manipulation techniques on neck range of motion, pain, and self-reported disability in
a sample of dental students experiencing neck pain.
The hypothesis of the study is that there will be a difference between the two thoracic spine
thrust manipulation techniques for short term effects on neck range of motion, pain, and
self-reported disability in a sample of dental students experiencing neck pain.

Inclusion Criteria: - Current student at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health (ASDOH) at A. T. Still University - Primary complaint of neck pain with or without symptoms that spread down into one arm - Overall rating of neck pain intensity is at least 3/10; the overall rating is the overall average of the participant's rating of current, least, and worst pain experienced over the previous 24 hours on separate numeric pain rating scales where 0 corresponds to "no pain" and 10 corresponds to "worst pain possible". - Neck Disability Index (NDI) score > 10 points (measure of self-reported disability with a 0 to 50 point scale where higher scores indicate higher levels of disability. - Proficient in speaking and reading English to complete outcome questionnaires Exclusion Criteria: - Neck pain related to a motor vehicle accident or other trauma within the previous 6 weeks - Neck pain that spreads down into both arms - Low back pain or thoracic origin of pain - Nerve root involvement; defined as the presence of two or more neurological findings (e.g. decreased strength, diminished deep tendon reflex, or decreased sensation) at the same nerve root level - Diagnosis of cervical spine stenosis (narrowing of the central canal that contains the spinal cord) - History of spinal tumors, spinal infection, cervical spine fracture, or previous neck surgery - Pending legal action related to current episode of neck pain - Contraindications to thoracic spine thrust manipulation 1. serious pathologies or conditions (tumor, fracture, metabolic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, history of prolonged steroid use) 2. hyperreflexia 3. unsteadiness during gait 4. Nystagmus 5. Loss of visual acuity 6. Impaired sensation of the face 7. Altered taste 8. The presence of pathological reflexes 9. pregnancy or considering pregnancy |

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in Neck Pain Intensity | Each participant's neck pain intensity will be assessed by use of the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS of 0-10) | Collected at baseline assessment during initial visit before 1st treatment, one week later before 2nd treatment, and one week later at follow-up appointment - total of 2- 3 weeks anticipated | |
Primary | Change in Neck Range of Motion (ROM) | Neck range of motion will be measured by a licensed Physical Therapist | Collected at baseline assessment during initial visit before 1st treatment, one week later before 2nd treatment, and one week later at follow-up appointment - total of 2- 3 weeks anticipated | |
Primary | Change in Neck Disability Index (NDI) | The Neck Disability Index (NDI) is a self-reported measure of disability consisting of a 0-50 point scale where higher scores indicate higher levels of disability | Collected at baseline assessment during initial visit before 1st treatment, one week later before 2nd treatment, and one week later at follow-up appointment - total of 2- 3 weeks anticipated | |
Primary | Change in Shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire (QuickDASH) | The shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick DASH) questionnaire is a self-report measure of function that can assess how neck pain may be impacting daily activities that require use of the upper limb | Collected at baseline assessment during initial visit before 1st treatment, one week later before 2nd treatment, and one week later at follow-up appointment - total of 2- 3 weeks anticipated |
