Filter by:Chronic neck pain causes errors in joint position sense. There are studies in the literature suggesting that instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and Kinesiotape applications improve the joint position sense. There is no study examining these applications acutely on joint position sense and pain in the cervical region. As a result of our study, we will compare the effects of single-session instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and Kinesiotape application on pain and joint position sense.
This investigation aims to investigate the effect of high intensity laser therapy on radicular symptoms, neuropathic pain, cervical range of motion and quality of life in patients with cervical radiculopathy compared to cervical therapeutic exercises.
Cervical orthoses are used to restrict motion for the purpose of preventing spinal instability following trauma or pre- and post-surgery or to protect from pain. Modern cervical orthoses are able to effectively restrict motion of the head however load is concentrated on areas of occipital tissue and may, with long term wear, lead to tissue breakdown in the form of pressure ulcers. Previous research has shown that the Miami J collar (Össur Americas Foothill Ranch, CA) effectively reduced cervical movement while providing superior pressure relief. As new cervical orthoses are developed and become commercially available it is useful to examine their performance in comparison to existing well-tested devices. DJO Global (Vista, CA) have recently developed a cervical collar. The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of this newly developed collar to restrict cervical range of motion while at the same time limit the tissue interface pressure exerted by the collar on patients when they are in an upright seated or supine position Data will be collected in a fully equipped 3D motion analysis laboratory. Cervical range of motion will be tracked and analyzed. Interface pressures between the head and collar will be measured using custom pressure mats.
The aim of this research is to compare the effects of craniocervical flexion exercises and scapular stabilization exercises in reducing neck pain and forward head posture among females wearing head scarves. Quasi experimental trials done at Akhtar Saeed Trust hospital, Falah o Behbud Associations and Medicare Hospital (Lahore, Pakistan). A sample size of 50 patients was taken using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. Subjects in group A were treated with craniocervical flexion exercises and the subjects in group B were treated with scapular stabilization exercises with 25 subjects in each group. Pretreatment evaluation was done using numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and neck disability index (NDI) as subjective measurement and Goniometry for assisted range of motion (AROM) and plumb line method for measuring head posture as objective measurement. The baseline values for all dependent variables were recorded on day one and at the end of 4th week.
The aim of this research is to determine the Effects of Sub-Occipital Muscles Inhibition Technique and Cranio Cervical Flexion Exercise for Mechanical Neck Pain. A randomized control trail will conduct at Railway general hospital(IIMCT). The sample size will be 68. TheParticipants will bedividing into two groups,34 participants in Group A (receive the Sub-Occipital Muscles Inhibition Technique) and 34 in Group B (receive Cranio Cervical Flexion Exercise). The study duration will 6 months. Purposive non probability sampling technique will be applied. Both male and female participants with mechanical neck pain will be include. Tools use in this study areNumerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI),Goniometer, Pressure Biofeedback unit, Digital Camera. Data analyzed through SPSS version 21.
Chronic neck pain, either after trauma (e.g. whiplash injury) or due to arthritis, is a significant issue for many Canadians. Steroid injections into the small joints of the neck can provide temporary pain relief, but patients require repeat injections every few months. The investigator will assess whether a different type of injection (platelet-rich plasma, PRP) can provide enhanced and longer-lasting pain relief compared to steroid. PRP is made from the patient's own blood but contains higher levels of components that promote healing. Patients with neck pain will receive either an injection of steroid or PRP into the small joints of the neck, but they won't know which one they are getting. After the injection they will be contacted to answer questions about their pain and function, up to 12 months after injection. The goal of this study is to determine if PRP is a viable alternative to current treatments to help reduce chronic neck pain and improve function after a whiplash injury. PRP may be a more permanent treatment for chronic neck pain which could reduce the need for repeated injections, thus reducing health care costs and wait times.
Background: Skeletal muscle-type pain is one of the main reasons for consultations in health centers. In Chile, it is estimated that the prevalence reaches 33% in men and 50% in women, increasing considerably with age, with cervical pain being one of the main conditions, estimating that 80% of the population has experienced cervicalgia at some time. lifetime. The main symptom is neck pain and restriction of movement, mainly affecting the mobility of the upper cervical region. Although there are studies evaluating the effectiveness of manual techniques, there are currently no studies evaluating the effects on cervical muscle activity and pressure threshold. Therefore, the objective of the present investigation is to evaluate the immediate effects of a manual therapy technique on the threshold pressure of muscular trigger points and on the muscular activity of the upper cervical region in patients with chronic pain and restriction of cervical mobility. higher. Methods: Clinical trial, randomized, prospective, double-blind study (patient and evaluator). The participants (21 subjects) were divided into 2 groups. The control group will receive a C0-C0 placebo mobilization technique and the experimental group will receive the C0-C1 mobilization technique. In both groups the technique will be carried out by mobilization cycles of 15 seconds and 3 seconds of rest for a total period of 5 min. Pressure threshold, activation of the superficial deep musculature and articular range of the upper cervical region will be measured.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a workplace yoga intervention in reducing the frequency of pain involving the head and neck area.
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a musculoskeletal disorder which is characterized by pain, muscle spasms and muscle tenderness, as well as a limited range of motion, weakness, and rarely, autonomous dysfunction.
The study was aimed to compare shoulder proprioception in chronic mechanical cervical pain to a matched normal group. This study include 2 groups, 40 subjects with mechanical chronic cervical pain and 40 healthy subjects representing the control group. The primary outcome measure was the shoulder proprioception test of both upper limbs during active repositioning and quantified with angular displacement error.
