Filter by: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 aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Cervical Stabilization and Oculomotor Exercises in addition to the classical physiotherapy on pain severity, cervical joint position sense, posture, cervical joint range of motion, strength and endurance of deep cervical flexor muscles, static and dynamic balance, neck awareness, functional disability and patient satisfaction in individuals with chronic neck pain. When the literature is examined, there is no study comparing the effectiveness of cervical stabilization and oculomotor exercises in individuals with chronic neck pain. However, it has also attracted our attention that a progressive and dynamic program was not followed in studies stating the oculomotor exercise program. In this sense, The study is important in terms of both comparing the effects of these 3 treatments and presenting a progressive and dynamic exercise protocol to the literature.
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.
This prognostic prediction model will be a reference for the health care professionals in clinical decision making and subsequent outcomes in dealing with patients having sub-acute and chronic neck pain, as well as, it will be a guide regarding therapeutic management and patients' education. Although various studies have evaluated the prognostic factors for individual neck pain conditions or treatment, to author Knowledge, no such prognostic model is available yet that predict the recovery in patients of sub-acute and chronic neck pain when managed conservatively. Therefore, this study is aimed to create a prediction model suggesting the recovery time for neck pain.
This prospective observation multifaceted study aims: 1. To perform a large prospective study and identify multiple "omics" biomarkers in chronic low back pain 2. To validate identified biomarkers for progression of acute to chronic low back pain 3. To validate identified biomarkers and test their heritability/validity in additional cohorts 4. To identify pathways and relevant individual variations for generation, propagation and subsidence of pain 5. To identify new imaging biomarkers related to chronic low back pain 6. To develop a registry of neck and low back pain subjects to help monitor the health-care management and utility to improve protocols and patient outcomes.
Physical Therapy rehabilitation programs could involve Manual procedures, stretching, traction, massage, electrotherapy, thermal agents, ultrasound, education and general exercise..In the recovery of patients with neck pain, exercise is one of the most commonly used modalities to gain muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility in order to recover damaged muscles and to maintain regular life activities.. Neck pain management exercise programs vary in terms of length, training frequency, intensity, and mode of exercise. .
