Filter by:The objective of this study is to quantify motor performance, this study will use an eye movement Fitts' task to examine the effects of cervical spine manipulation on participants with chronic neck pain and the subsequent changes to saccade movement time. This study will also include a head movement Fitts' task which has previously reported a reduction in head movement time in chronic neck pain participants after cervical spine manipulation. This is an observational within-subjects design that involves a pre/post cervical spine manipulation intervention on participants (n=20) with chronic neck pain and asymptomatic controls (n=20). All participants will complete an eye movement and head movement Fitts' task before and after cervical spine manipulation to identify any changes in saccade and head movement time, saccade and head peak velocity, and time to peak saccade and head velocity.
Chronic pain is prevalent in the U.S., with impact on physical and psychological functioning as well as lost work productivity. Minority and lower socioeconomic populations have increased prevalence of chronic pain with less access to pain care and poorer outcomes. Acupuncture therapy is effective in treating chronic pain conditions including chronic low back pain (cLBP), neck pain, shoulder pain and knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA). Acupuncture therapy, including group acupuncture, is feasible and effective, and specifically so for underserved and diverse populations at risk for health outcome disparities. Acupuncture therapy also encourages patient engagement and activation. As chronic pain improves there is a natural progression to want and need to increase activity and movement recovery. Diverse movement approaches are important both for improving range of motion, maintaining gains, strengthening and promoting patient engagement and activation. Yoga therapy is an active therapy with proven benefit in musculoskeletal pain disorders and pain associated disability. The aim of this pilot feasibility trial is to test the bundling of these two care options for chronic pain, to inform both the design for a larger randomized pragmatic effectiveness trial as well as implementation strategies across underserved settings.
This study was planned to investigate the efficacy of treatment for Kinesio tape application in chronic neck pain individuals. A total of 44 individuals were randomly divided into two groups (study group: 22, control group: 22). Conventional physiotherapy methods including active (exercise) and passive (hotpack, ultrasound and conventional transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)) treatment were applied to all subjects for 15 sessions (5 days a week). In addition to the individuals in the study group, Kinesio tape application was performed at the end of each session. Pain (Visual Analogue Scale), pressure pain threshold (digital algometer), range of motion (CROM device), muscle strength (Hand-Held Dynamometer), muscle endurance, pectoralis minor muscle length, quality of life (Nottingham Health Profile) and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Scale) assessments were performed before treatment, on the second day of treatment and after treatment (after three weeks). Treatment satisfaction with individuals (Visual Analogue Scale) was assessed on the 2nd day of treatment and post-treatment (after three weeks).
Pain, muscle spasm, loss of muscle strength and impaired posture adversely affect the daily life activities and quality of life of neck pain patients.However, the quality of life; It is a multifaceted concept that includes not only the age, sex, marital status, educational status and duration of pain, but also the number of children, BMI, depression, sleep quality, pain-related inadequacy and fatigue. Therefore, considering all these; quality of life; The aim of our study was to determine the factors affecting the quality of life in nonspesific neck patients with the effect that the determinants affecting physical, physical role difficulty, pain, general health, vitality, social function, emotional role difficulty and mental health may be different.
Musculoskeletal pain can affect up to 40% of children and adolescents. Neck pain (NP) is one of the most prevalent painful conditions and evidence suggests that its prevalence has increased in recent decades in adolescents aged 16 to 18 years, from 22.9% in 1991 to 29.5% in 2011. Interventions based on pain neuroscience education have emerged as promising strategies in chronic pain conditions.In adults this intervention has been explored in many pain conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, but there is only one pilot study in adolescents with chronic NP and one case study in adolescents with fibromyalgia. Thus, the main objective of the present study is: (i) To compare the effectiveness of an education program based on pain neuroscience education and exercise versus exercise alone, in decreasing pain intensity in secondary school students with chronic and idiopathic NP immediately after the intervention and at 6 months. The secondary objectives are to: i) Compare the effectiveness of these programs immediately after the intervention and at 6 months in i) disability, ii) sleep, iii) pain catastrophizing, iv) fear of movement, v) self-efficacy, vi) central sensitization vii) the strength of the deep neck flexors and extensors muscles and stabilizers of the scapula; and viii) the pressure pain threshold between the two intervention groups; ii) Explore possible predictors of response to treatment.
In this study, the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of pharmacopuncture therapy for chronic neck pain compared to physical therapy.
This study evaluates the efficacy isolated and combinaded of photobiomodulation therapy with low level laser therapy and the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.
PTSD is prevalent among Veterans and is associated with physical and functional impairments in addition to PTSD symptoms. Veterans with PTSD experience more chronic pain and pain-related functional limitations than Veterans without PTSD. Mind-body interventions such as yoga and meditation are non-pharmacological options for treating both chronic pain and PTSD. This pilot study will add an existing mantram repetition (MR) component designed for Veterans with PTSD to an active yoga intervention known to improve function in chronic back pain patients. The study will examine the acceptability of the interventions, adverse events, and the feasibility of recruitment, attendance, retention, treatment fidelity, and assessments by recruiting and randomizing 32 VA patients with PTSD to either yoga plus MR or to a relaxation/health education control. Health outcomes including pain-related function, pain, and PTSD symptoms will be measured. If feasible, the data will be used to plan a full-scale trial of enhanced yoga for pain in VA patients with PTSD.
This study is focused on people with chronic spinal pain. To investigate the impact of sleep problems on pain and function, 45 people with chronic spinal pain and comorbid insomnia will be compared to 45 people with chronic spinal pain without insomnia.
