Neck Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial With Cross-over on the Efficacy of Cervical Pillows and an Educational Intervention in Patients With Chronic Non-specific Neck Pain
This randomized controlled with cross-over trial aims to investigate the efficacy of a cervical pillow (the "Viscospring PostuRite" made by SOFF-ART S.r.l. Via Maestri del Lavoro 49 - 05100 Terni, Italy) versus education in non-specific chronic neck pain. More specifically, effectiveness will be measured using the following outcome measures: pain, disability, sleep quality, cervical pillow satisfaction, and global perception of the treatment effectiveness.
The cervical pillow intervention will consist of the delivery and use of a particular
cervical pillow ("Viscospring Postural") to be used during nighttime sleep. Each intervention
will include an individual meeting with a physical therapist who will explain how to use and
maintain the pillow, will last half an hour, and will be supported by the delivery of a user
manual. There will be an opportunity to clarify any concerns and to receive answers to
questions.
The educational intervention will be conducted by a physical therapist and will consist of
advice on proper positions, movements, and activities recommended or not recommended for
people with chronic neck pain, both in the workplace and in leisure time, including nighttime
postures. Each educational intervention will be carried out individually, will last half an
hour, and will be supported by the delivery of an informative brochure. There will be an
opportunity to clarify any concerns and to receive answers to questions.
Participants will be required during the duration of the study refrain from modifying the
dosage or type of prescribed analgesic or anti-inflammatory drugs they may be taking at the
time the study starts and to refrain from initiating new drugs.
Participants will also be required refrain from undertaking any physical therapy or
manipulative treatment for neck pain and to pursue their usual activities: work, recreation
and physical activity.
Participants will also be required to complete a daily diary of pain for the duration of the
study in order to monitor the development of any exclusion criterion during the period of
study.
After the administration of the interventions (after 4 weeks of treatment - "Time one"), the
first follow-up will be performed, with the administration of these questionnaires: Neck
Disability Index (NDI-I), 0-100 Numerical Rating Scale, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI),
Global Perceived Effect (GPE), Neck Pillow Satisfaction (NPS).
After four weeks from the " Time one" of the study, another follow-up will be performed, with
the administration of the following questionnaires: Neck Disability Index (NDI-I), 0-100
Numerical Rating Scale, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and crossover will be
performed, which consists in the exchange of treatments between the two groups: the group
that did the first intervention will receive the second, and vice versa.
Four weeks after the cross-over, the third follow-up will be performed ("Time three"). In
this final phase of the study, these questionnaires will be administrated: Neck Disability
Index (NDI-I), 0-100 Numerical Rating Scale, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Global
Perceived Effect (GPE), Neck Pillow Satisfaction (NPS).
