Filter by:A large number of workers in different sectors suffer from musculoskeletal neck disorders, which are the most common work-related illness in Europe. A multitude of combinations of techniques can be used to treat these conditions, including recorded film and the Jones technique. This pilot study examines the efficacy of Kinesio taping and the Jones technique in improving pain, joint range of motion and muscle tension in active subjects with latent myofascial trigger points. A clinical trial was conducted with 38 patients with neck pain. The sample was randomly distributed into three groups: a Jones technique group, a kinesio taping group and a combined therapy group in which both techniques were performed. The duration of treatment was 4 weeks, with a follow-up of 2 weeks. Cervical spine joint range of motion, pain and functional disability were assessed with the goniometer, the visual analogue scale, the pressure algometer and the cervical disability index.
The study will be described the development and implementation of the Clinical pathway (CPW) for acupuncture treatment in the management of patients with some chronic pain conditions. The effectiveness of this CPW will be explored in this study through retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes after administration of acupuncture treatment summarised in the guidelines.
The prevalence of non-specific neck pain is 12.1 / 1000 patients / year. Their support is most often based on analgesics combined with physical therapy. More recently authors have advocated the use of self-rehabilitation, that is to say, the use by the patient himself of physiotherapy exercises to perform at home regularly. However, if there are currently many studies on the effectiveness of self-rehabilitation for low back pain, there are few data on neck pain. In this context we have chosen to implement a prospective, randomized study, on the effectiveness of self-rehabilitation in patients with chronic neck pain.
The purpose of the study is to see if manipulation of the neck will change the way people who may or may not have neck pain, walk under differing conditions.
The purpose of this study is to know which combination of treatments are the most effective in patients with non-specific neck pain. Study design: This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial. (outcomes assessor). Study population: Men and women aged 18 to 60 years old with neck pain for at least 12 weeks. Interventions: 3 groups will be treated for a period of 4 weeks (8 sessions total; 2 per week).
1. Chronic neck pain is common in general population. - High health care source expenditure - Multiple therapeutic approaches available with limited evidence - Previous studies showed active strengthening exercise improved pain (VAS) and functional performance (NDI) - Muscle strengthening exercise with biofeedback technique showed more long-lasting effect in patients with chronic neck pain 2. The investigators hypothesize that daily use of the neck strength exerciser (NSE), combined biofeedback technique with muscle strengthening exercise posture adjustment, in addition to traditional physiotherapy, could have more long-lasting and prominent effect on pain and functional improvement in patients with chronic neck pain.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of global postural reeducation relative to segmental exercises in the treatment of scapular dyskinesis with cervicalgia.
The primary purpose of this study is to adapt the Neck Disability Index (NDI)and the Cervical Core Set 6 (CCS6) to the Spanish population. Other objectives are to determine the correlation between intensity of cervical pain, degree of disability, and quality of life; to determine the correlation between the NDI, CCS6 and the Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire; and to determine factors that predict the chronification of disability.
This study will provide the basis for a full-scale trial to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of therapeutic massage for chronic neck pain (CNP).
