Filter by:Chronic cervical pain is a common disorder with a prevalence of approximately 35% in adults. Cervical radicular pain is defined as radiating pain in the upper limb caused by compression or inflammation of the nerve roots ascending from the intervertebral foramen to the spinal cord, due to disc herniation or spinal stenosis. C7 and C6 are the two most commonly affected nerve roots. Various treatment modalities are available, including oral medications, physiotherapy, and epidural steroid injections. However, chronic and persistent pain that develops as a result of some patients not responding to these treatments. Ultrasound-guided selective cervical nerve root block and pulsed radiofrequency are interventional treatments used in patients with radicular cervical pain unresponsive to conservative treatments. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment of peripheral nerves may provide long-term pain relief in patients with short-term pain relief with a local anesthetic block. Studies have shown the effectiveness of PRF therapy applied to selective cervical nerve roots in relieving cervical radicular pain.
PURPOSE: To compare the effects of mckenzie exercises plus stabilization exercise to those of mckenzie exercises alone on disability, pain, range of motion (ROM) in patients with nonspecific chronic neck pain (NSCNP). BACKGROUND: Little is known about the efficacy of providing mckenzie exercises in addition to cervical and scapulothoracic stabilization exercises in people with NSCNP. HYPOTHESES We hypothesize that there will be no significant effect of adding stabilization exercises to mckenzie exercises than mckenzie exercises alone in patients with NSCNP. RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a statistically significant effect of adding stabilization exercises to mckenzie exercises on outcomes of patients with NSCNP?
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of muscle energy technique versus myofascial release on cervical and lumbar pain in premenopausal women with fibromyalgia
This randomized controlled trial was performed in MMRC (Majestic medicine rehabilitation Sciences) Islamabad in February 2023 and consisted of patients having neck pain and forward head posture. 30 Patients were divided into two groups of 15 each by sealed envelope method . Treatment group was given weight bearing thrust manipulation in sitting and control was given non weight bearing thrust manipulation in supine lying. Pain was calculated through NPRS and Cervical ranges were calculated by Inclinometer before and immediately after treatment.
The presence of latent myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the angular muscle of the scapula is one of the possible causes of non-specific neck pain. Dry needling (DN) and ischaemic compression (IC) techniques may be useful for the treatment of these MTrPs. Methods: 80 participants were divided into two groups: the dry needling group, which received a single session of DN on the angular muscle plus hyperalgesia (n=40), and the IC group, which received a single session of IC on the angular muscle plus hyperalgesia (n=40). Pain intensity, pain pressure threshold (PPT), range of motion (ROM) and quality of life were assessed at baseline, immediately after, 48 hours and one week after treatment.
To determine the immediate effects of cervical spine manipulation on pressure pain sensitivity on upper trapezius trigger point. it was a randomized control trial including 66 patients at physiotherapy OPD of railway rehabilitation center from August 2019 to December 2019, Railway General Hospital Pakistan and Max Rehab and decompression center Max health Hospital G8 Islamabad. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups (group control and experimental) by free envelope method.
To compare the effects of kinesiology taping and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization in cervicogenic headache
Cervical pain contributes to postural deviations and imbalance. Nanotechnology may be used for the treatment of neck pain by fixing to the skin small rounds silicone patches containing double spiral carbon nanotubes arranged in the form of a coil (Helical), which would then relieve dizziness caused by muscular contraction.
Continued spinal pain following spine surgery is reported in up to 50% of patients. Disability and pain following spine surgery occurs. Repeat back surgery outcomes on Workers Compensation low back patients demonstrated larger number of patients did not come back to work. Such continued pain has biopsychosocial health relationships between the physical and the psychological and social factors that are associated with back pain and disability. Chiropractic consultation by post surgical continued pain (PSCP) patients occurs but the frequency, clinical treatment and outcomes of chiropractic treatment are not sufficiently documented. Conditions reported in continued pscp patients seeking care following spinal fusion are reported as sacroiliac joint pain, internal disc disruption, and zygapohyseal joint pain. Sacroiliac joint pain is more common after fusion, while internal disc disruption is more common in nonfusion patients. Very few studies are available on the outcomes of PSCP patients seen by chiropractic. This study proposes to investigate the clinical outcomes of PSCP patients presenting with pain in lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions and had prior surgery in the respective regions, seeking care from field Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) certified in Cox flexion distraction decompression procedures.
Intense pain and moderate disability are seen most patients with symptomatic cervical disc herniation (CDH). Since neck motion and motor control are associated with changes in neck pain and disability, it is highly likely that patients with neck pain related disability would display dual-task interference (DTI) during postural control with a cognitive task. It is very important for patients with cervical disk herniation to perform more than one task at the same time for many activities of daily living. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare balance performance in dual task between patients with CDH related chronic neck pain and asymptomatic controls.
