Neck Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Pressure Release and Ischemic Pressure of Myofascial Trigger Points on Mechanical Neck Pain. A Crossover, Controlled and Randomized Clinical Trial
The aim of the study is to compare two manual therapy techniques. By testing if the Pressure Release of Myofascial Trigger Points technique (PRM) is more effective in treating Myofascial Trigger Points present in the upper trapezius muscle of patients with mechanical cervical pain. This will be compared mainly with another manual therapy technique that presents evidences such as Ischemic Pressure technique (IP), and a control group, through the evaluation of the Visual Analogical Scale (VAS), the Threshold of Pain at Pressure (TPP) and the Northwick Park Questionnaire (NPC) of neck disability, spanish version.
The present pilot study is proposed as a crossover, controlled and randomized clinical trial,
with blinded evaluation of response variables.
The aim of the study is to test whether the Pressure Release of Myofascial Trigger Points
technique(PRM) is effective in treating Myofascial Trigger Points present in the upper
trapezius muscle of patients with mechanical cervical pain. This will be compared mainly with
another manual technique that presents more evidence such as Ischemic Pressure (IP), through
the evaluation of the Visual Analogical Scale (VAS), the Threshold of Pain at Pressure (TPP)
and the Northwick Park Questionnaire (NPC) of neck disability, Spanish version.
The patients, with a minimum sample for the pilot study of 30 subjects, of working age (18-50
years) with mechanical neck pain for at least the last month, will be recruited from the
clinic "Fisioterapia Los Molinos" in the town of Getafe, the same place where the treatment
will be carried out.
They will be randomly divided into three groups: one will be given Pressure Release of
Myofascial Trigger Points technique (PRM), another Ischemic Pressure technique (IP), and a
last one will be assigned as a control group. In compliance with the corresponding ethical
criteria, the three groups will be subjected to random crossover so that no patient is left
untreated. Visual Analogical Scale (VAS), Threshold of Pain at Pressure (TPP) and Northwick
Park Questionnaire (NPC) of neck disability (spanish version), will be evaluated before and
immediately after treatment.
Statistical analysis will be performed by IBM SPSS v22.0 program or a later version,
verifying that the sample meets the criteria of normality and homogeneity and comparing the
results of the variables through an ANOVA Analysis of variance.
