Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the effects of scapular stabilization program on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with chronic non- specific neck pain. This study will be a randomized controlled trial and 28 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. they will be allocated into 2 groups using non- probability purposive sampling technique. Experimental group will receive relaxation exercises for the cervico-scapular region combined with SSP(scapular stabilization program). The Control group will receive relaxation exercises only. Outcome measure: Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Goniometer, and Neck Disability Index will measure pain, range of motion, and disability. The experimental group will receive a total of 45 minutes sessions, thrice a week on alternate days for 3 weeks. The Control group will receive relaxation exercises in cervico-scapular region including neck stretches, stretches of scapular muscles, and myofascial release 3 times a week for 3 weeks on alternate days. Measurements will be taken at the baseline, at the end of 3rd week and for long term effects follow- up at 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 20.
Pain in the neck is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects many individuals. Dry needling has shown an effective technique for the treatment of shoulder and neck disorders. The mechanisms of action of the dry needling are not well-known. This study aims to evaluate the effects of dry needling in the upper trapezius on the autonomic nervous system and nociceptive pain processing in patients with non-specific neck pain. Hypothesis: Dry needling applied in the upper trapezius in patients with non-specific neck pain produced greater activation of the autonomic nervous system and nociceptive pain processing than sham dry needling.
In this study, the effects of an 8-week telerehabilitation-based stabilization training in persons with chronic non-specific neck pain will be investigated.
Myofascial neck syndrome has a high incidence in the general population and is characterized by the presence of painful trigger points in the neck muscles. Both the application of manual techniques such as myofascial release and the application of TENS currents to the painful points of the neck muscles have been proven to help reduce pain and improve the range of motion of the neck. 80 adults who will present at least one trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle will be randomly divided into four groups. In the first group, a combination therapy of myofascial release with conductive TENS glove will be applied, in the second group the same protocol of myofascial release without conductive glove, in the third group a high frequency (conventional) TENS, and the fourth group will get placebo TENS with the device closed. All participants will follow a total of six treatments over a period of three weeks with a follow-up after one month. The following will be evaluated before and after the intervention, as well as in the one-month follow-up: pain with the visual analog scale (VAS pain), Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) in the upper trapezius muscle with a digital algometer, range of motion (ROM) of the neck with a goniometer, and functional ability with the "Neck Disability Index" (NDI) questionnaire.
Mechanical neck pain is posteriorly occurring non-specific pain that originates from the superior nuchal line and extends to the first thoracic vertebrae. It is exacerbated by sustained neck postures, neck movements or cervical muscle palpation. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of scapular stabilization versus thoracic spine extension exercises on pain, disability and range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain.
Intense pain and moderate disability are seen most patients with symptomatic cervical disc herniation (CDH). Since neck motion and motor control are associated with changes in neck pain and disability, it is highly likely that patients with neck pain related disability would display dual-task interference (DTI) during postural control with a cognitive task. It is very important for patients with cervical disk herniation to perform more than one task at the same time for many activities of daily living. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare balance performance in dual task between patients with CDH related chronic neck pain and asymptomatic controls.
It has been reported that excessive use of smartphones increases the stress on the cervical spine, and changes in cervical curvature and pain in the muscles around the neck are associated with the increase in stress. Studies have reported that smartphone users with addictions have neck pain (68%), upper back pain (62%), right shoulder pain (52%), left shoulder pain (46%), and right hand pain (46%). As a result of our study, the frequency of smartphone addiction and temporomandibular joint dysfunction and related factors in individuals with nonspecific neck pain were examined and the results we obtained will contribute to the literature.
The purpose of the study is to determine physical and mental health issues of U.S. embryologists related to their occupational characteristics, and how workplace fatigue and burnout may affect their quality of life, cynicism, interactions with patients, attention to detail, and lead to human error, the cause of the most severe IVF incidents that often make headlines and result in costly litigation. It will also correlate how the current manual workflows contribute to these health issues, and what measures can be taken to improve both working conditions and embryologists' health, and, therefore, improve patient care.
Aim: To compare the effects of somatosensory exercise vs endurance-strength exercise on the deep cervical flexor muscles on pain and perceived disability in patients with chronic neck pain. Study design: Protocol of a clinical trial, controlled, parallel and a blinded assessor. Population: Subjects aged 18 to 65 years with neck pain of 3 or more months of evolution.
Determining the predictors that are effective on work performance and preventive approaches to be developed for these predictors must be individual and adaptable to every environment, time, and equipment. In this context, the purpose of the present study was to show the relations between neck disability, Upper Trapezius (UT) muscle activation, posture, and demographic characteristics with typing task performance in office employees who have neck pain by using their equipment in their workplaces.
