Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to analyse the immediate effects of a 4-week multimodal physiotherapy program which combines cervical supervised exercises with laser-guided feedback (ELGF) and interferential current electro massage (ICE) in fighter pilots with flight-related neck pain.


Clinical Trial Description

Flight-related neck pain constitutes a clinical entity related to the performance and flight safety of fighter pilots. The aim of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of a multimodal physiotherapy program which combines supervised Exercise with Laser-Guided Feedback (ELGF) and Interferential Current Electro-Massage (ICE) in fighter pilots with flight-related neck pain. 31 pilots were randomly allocated into two groups (Experimental Group n=14; Control Group n = 17). The intervention consisted of 8 sessions (twice a week) for 4 weeks. As primary outcome measures the following variables were measured: perceived pain intensity (Numeric Pain Rating Scale) and neck disability (Neck Disability Index). The secondary outcome measures were: cervical range of movement (CRoM), joint position sense error (JPSE) and pressure pain threshold (PPT). ;
