Thermal Energy in the Treatment of Cervicogenic Dizziness

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

The selected patients should have neck pain arising from muscle contraction with loss of balance or instability lasting more than 90 days and normal electrooculography. Treatment consisted of placing 10 Helical patches, placebo or active, distributed as follows: two in the upper cervical area, two in the lower cervical area (near the 5th and 6th vertebrae), two in the upper trapezius muscle area (between neck and shoulder), and four in the tender point area (as reported by the patient). Using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and specific questionnaires, the investigators will match pain, muscle tension and dizziness scores from Day 1 to those from Day 15 and Day 30. ;
