Comparison of Two Thoracic Manipulation Techniques to Improve Neck Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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 people with neck pain.

The null hypothesis is that there will be no differences between the two manipulation techniques for short-term effects on neck range-of-motion, pain, and self-reported disability in people with neck pain.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients will be involved in the study over a 4 week period. Each participant will be asked to attend 4 sessions, with one week in between each session as follows: Week 0 = baseline assessment and treatment 1; Week 1= treatment 2; Week 2 = treatment 3; and week 4 = follow-up assessment.

Patients who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized to either a supine or prone thoracic spine thrust manipulation intervention. ;
