Between 45% and 70% of the general population suffers neck pain at some point in their lives, making it one of the most frequent reasons for taking sick leave. Given its importance in physiotherapy at clinical level, we seek to observe how a scapular mobilization technique might influence the neural mechanosensitivity of the median nerve as measured by Upper Limb Neural Test 1 (ULNT1) on subjects with neck pain. Hypotheses and objectives. Performing a scapular mobilization technique on subjects with neck pain and a positive ULNT1 improves the patient's response to said test. It also decreases the patient's neck pain as measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and increases grip strength. Material and method. A single-blind clinical trial was performed on subjects randomly assigned to either a treatment group or control group. The sample consisted of 60 subjects (N = 60) -30 in the treatment group (n = 30) and the other 30 as a control (n = 30) -and was made up of patients with neck pain and a positive ULNT1. A scapular mobilization was performed on the first group and on the second, a calcaneus abduction adduction on the opposite side from the positive ULNT1 as a placebo.

Other | Hand pressing force | To measure the grip force of the hand we use the Dynamometer hydraulic baseline (SP-5030J1). We always place the subject in the same position to ensure that the conditions were the same, seated subject, shoulder adducted and in neutral rotation, 90º bend of the elbow, neutral position of the forearm, wrist in slight dorsal flexion (always between 0º and 30º) and a cubital deviation between 0º and 15º. | Five minutes | |
Primary | Goniometer Test | The axis of the Goniometer is placed On the elbow joint. The stationary arm is lined up with the arm and the moveable arm along the forearm. The subject is asked to perform elbow extension and the angle is measured. Improvement of this angle 10º. Inmediately after the intervention |
Two minutes | |
Secondary | Neck pain | Improvement of this 0,5 Newtons. Using a visual pain scale, with values between 0 and 10, the subject marks the intensity level of the neck pain. Inmediately after the intervention | Two minutes |
