Filter by:The objective of this observational study is to pilot a scale designed to assist clinicians in evaluating the force they perceive during manual therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: - Are clinicians able to evaluate the force they use when delivering manual therapies to their patients using a scale? For the pilot test, licensed chiropractors administer manual therapies on a manikin.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of Manual Therapy Based on the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) on the cervical spine by comparing it with Core Stabilization Training (CST) or Control in individuals with temporomandibular disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the effectiveness of the addition of FDM-based Manual Therapy to conventional therapy different from the addition of CST or control? Is the effectiveness of the addition of CST to conventional therapy different from the addition of FDM or control? All participants in the intervention groups will be given eight-week conventional therapy (Rocabado Exercises and Patient Education) in addition to FDM-based Manual Therapy or CST. Participants in the control group will not be given any therapy during the study. Neck pain intensity, hand grip strength, head posture, cervical muscle performance, cervical range of motion (function), disability, and quality of life will be assessed.

All participants in the intervention groups will be given eight-week conventional therapy (Rocabado Exercises and Patient Education) in addition to FDM-based Manual Therapy or CST. Participants in the control group will not be given any therapy during the study. Pain intensity, TMD severity, head posture, function, and disability will be assessed.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of listening to music during the treatment of frozen shoulder on pain, normal range of motion, functional activity status and quality of life.Upon recruitment, the subjects were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups: Group 1 received Music + Mobilization + Exercise, Group 2 received Music + Exercise, Group 3 received Mobilization + Exercise, and Group 4 received Exercise only.
Central sensitization (CS) is defined as the increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons in the central nervous system to normal or subthreshold afferent input. CS has been proposed as an underlying mechanism of chronic pain in musculoskeletal disorders including low back pain (LBP). The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of manual therapy on central sensitization in patients with nonspecific chronic LBP.
The objective of this study was to compare the short- and medium-term effects in pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and function of implementing a manual therapy (MT) intervention treatment combined with a therapeutic exercise (TE) program, versus an isolated TE program and a non-intervention in patients with disc displacement with reduction (DDCR) with pain.
Single-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial conducted amongst a sample of healthy subjects divided into two different groups: the experimental treatment will consist in bilateral T12-L1 vertebral manipulation, whereas the control group will receive a sham intervention consisting solely in applying tension without properly manipulating. Body temperature, arterial tension and cardiac frequency will be measured before and after the intervention. Changes in the aforementioned variables will be measured.
Chronic neck pain (CNP) attributed to myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS) which is one of the particularly common skeletal muscle disorder associated with the hyperirritable zone in the taut band of muscle. Myofascial trigger points (MTrP) are one of the most overlooked and ignored causes of musculoskeletal pain. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of acupressure of cervical acupoints versus ischemic compression release (ICR) of MTrPs in CNP.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the Mulligan mobilization technique on pain intensity and range of motion individuals with neck pain. The patients were randomized into two groups. Group 1 is the Mulligan Mobilization group and the second group is the control group.
The aims of the study are: To study the pain efficacy of an electroacupuncture and manual therapy protocol versus the use of manual therapy in patients with sciatica. To study the efficacy on function of an electroacupuncture and manual therapy protocol versus the use of manual therapy in patients with sciatica.
