Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of clinical pilates exercises and electrotherapy on pain level, physical condition, functional status and psychosocial status in patients with chronic neck pain.In the study, individuals will be divided into two groups. Pilates will be applied to one group for 6 weeks, pilates and conventional therapy will be applied to one group. Individuals will be evaluated before and after treatment. In the evaluation, pain, disability, anxiety and depression status, quality of life of individuals will be questioned. In addition, cervical joint range of motion and endurance will be evaluated.
The Purpose of this study is to culturally adapt and translate Core outcome measure index-Neck Scale into Urdu language as well as to investigate the reliability and validity in Pakistani population. Also check its correlation with Neck Disability-Index, Neck-pain and the disability-scale and Functional-Rating-Index.
Chronic neck pain (CNP) is reported to be one of the most common musculoskeletal pain syndromes. Studies showed that patients with chronic neck pain compensated with changes in Pain, Function, Musculoskeletal and Respiratory outcomes. The diaphragm is a primary respiratory muscle contributing to postural stability and spinal control. Many studies showed that manual therapy and exercise improve clinical and respiratory outcomes in CNP patients. Few studies highlight the importance of diaphragm manual therapy and Reeducation Breathing Exercises in musculoskeletal diseases and in CNP patients. However, the exact mechanism is still unclear. This study aims to examine the hypothesis that: "Diaphragm Manual Therapy and Breathing Reeducation Exercises combined with cervical manual therapy - improve clinical and respiratory outcomes more than cervical manual therapy intervention only or conventional physiotherapy
Nonspecific chronic neck pain is the third most frequent problem in Spain. It has an annual presence between 15% and 50% where women are the most affected. This pain influences the psychosocial state of the person. Physical exercise has been shown to be effective in a wide variety of chronic pain conditions, including improving quality of life and emotional problems. Design: Single-blind, controlled, randomized clinical trial. Methods: The study will be approached in the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the University of Alcalá. 52 subjects with nonspecific chronic neck pain will be selected and randomly divided into two groups. The first group should perform 5 exercises that have been shown to be effective in the management of neck pain selected by the physiotherapist focused on neck pain. The second group must choose, from a list of exercises that have been shown to be effective in the management of neck pain, 5 exercises. Both groups should record the pain, the number of repetitions and the series performed. The duration of the intervention will be a total of 8 weeks with evaluations pre-intervention, post-intervention and 4 weeks after the end of the intervention. The objective of this study is to evaluate if the exercise chosen by the patient is better than the exercises selected by the physiotherapist for the variables chronic neck pain, strength of the affected muscles, kinesiophobia and adherence to treatment.
The aim of this study is to translate or culturally adapt ProFitMap-neck into Urdu language and to investigate the reliability and validity of the ProFitMap-neck in Pakistani population having chronic neck pain. Also check it's correlation with Neck Disability Index.
The purpose of the study is to compare the muscle energy technique, facet joint mobilization and conventional physical therapy in individuals with chronic neck pain on cervical lordosis, cervical range of motions, numeric pain rating scale and NDI. A randomized control trial was conducted at physiotherapy department of HIT hospital, Taxila Cantt. The sample size was 105 calculated through open-epi tool. The participants were divided into three interventional groups, experimental group (1), experimental group (2), and control group (3) each having 35 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was Purposive sampling for recruitment and group randomization using sealed envelope method. Only 35 to 50 years participants with 4-8 pain intensity on NPRS in cervical region were included in the study. Goniometer, Posterior tangent method on lateral radiographs for cervical curve and Self structured Questionnaire. Data was collected at baseline then 2 and 4 weeks after the application of interventions. Data analyzed through SPSS version 21.
It is a randomized control trial will be conducted at Federal Government Polyclinic hospital on 44 chronic mechanical neck pain patients. Patients will be recruited in the study through non probability purposive sampling. Random allocation will be done through toss coin method into two groups; Conventional Physiotherapy Control group (n=22) and Proprioceptive training Experimental group (n=22). Research data will be collected through structural questionnaires. Tools will be used to collect data are NPRS, NDI, Goniometer (Cervical ROMs) and proprioception.
Telerehabilitation offers more efficient follow-up of patients during their home exercise period as a cost-effective and effective treatment model. This study was planned to examine the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in patients with chronic neck pain. The aim of the study is to compare the video-based and telerehabilitation based home-exercise program in patients with chronic neck pain. It is aimed to evaluate the patients in terms of pain, functionality, quality of life, and exercise adherence.
Chronic neck pain is a commonly reported problem and often associated with functional disability. Studies showed that patients with chronic neck pain compensated with changes in breathing pattern. Primary functions of the diaphragm includes as the main respiratory muscle and contributing to the postural stability and spinal control. Diaphragm is located between the thorax and abdomen and has extensive and complex fascial connections to surrounding organs, muscles, and skeletons. Few studies showed that applying diaphragmatic manual techniques and breathing exercise training help to improve functions in patients with low back pain. However, how does the interventions directly influence on patients with chronic neck pain is still unclear. In this study, we make a hypothesis that diaphragmatic stretch technique and breathing exercise training help to reduce pain and improve functions in patients with chronic neck pain.
Chronic pain is defined as persistent or recurrent pain lasting longer than 3 months as per ICD11 and includes seven categories of pain. Chronic musculoskeletal pain is one of them. Neck pain is one of the top five causes of chronic pain yet few clinical trials are dedicated solely to neck pain. Chronic neck pain not only leads to neuromuscular dysfunction but also psychological distress and fear-avoidance all contributing to reduced quality of life, emotional health, and productivity of a person. Absenteeism and presenteeism are both measures of work productivity of a person but presenteeism is more significant where being absent from work is not a feasible option like in the case of homemakers. Homemakers are often neglected but they constitute an essential part of society. Although they do not have a formal occupation, they perform a multitude of ergonomically stressful activities leading to different types of musculoskeletal pain. Being mostly a silent sufferer, they often seek medical help when the pain becomes chronic and affects different areas of health thereby necessitating a holistic management approach. In the Central Indian cultural scenario, a homemaker rarely takes complete rest from her household chores. So presenteeism can be used as a marker for work productivity. This study aims to analyze the impact of chronic neck pain in the pre-treatment quality of life, presenteeism, and emotional health in homemakers and to find the association of the findings with the cause and severity of chronic neck pain.
