Filter by:Background: Immersive virtual reality (VR) has been used for several years in the treatment of chronic neck pain. This new type of rehabilitation device, which can be used at home, is promising and seems to be as effective as conventional treatments for neck pain. Exploring the experience of people with chronic neck pain using this type of rehabilitation device at home could, among other things, help to understand the factors favoring good adherence and those not favoring it. This could also help us to improve VR home rehabilitation programs according to the patients' needs, preferences and expectations. However, currently, no studies have qualitatively evaluated the experience of people with chronic non-specific neck pain using an immersive VR serious game at home. Objective: To explore the experience of people with chronic non-specific neck pain who used an immersive VR serious game at home. Methods: Individual semi-structured interviews will be conducted with people with chronic non-specific neck pain. Interviews will last for approximately 30 to 60 minutes and will be carried out face-to-face or via videoconference (Microsoft Teams), depending on up-to-date guidance relating to the Covid-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews will be audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts will be read several times and analyzed using thematic analysis, with themes emerging from the transcripts (inductive approach). These themes will be defined and revised throughout the analysis process. Discussion: Study findings will help to better understand the experience of people with chronic non-specific neck pain using a VR serious game at home, and then will allow to adapt it to the subjects' needs, preferences and expectations. These adaptations could further increase adherence to treatment and/or improve clinical outcomes for people with chronic non-specific neck pain using this type of rehabilitation device at home.
The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between the degree of neck straightening and pain, phone addiction and nomophobia in young adult patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of neck pain and were diagnosed with neck straightening as a result of radiological examinations. 120 patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of neck pain and were diagnosed with cervical hypolordosis by radiological examination will be included in the study. After giving the necessary verbal and written information about the study, a link will be sent to the phones of the patients whose informed consent was obtained. Patients will access evaluation questions and survey questions via this link. Personal information with the Sociodemographic Data Form prepared by us; pain severity by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); phone addiction level with the Smartphone Addiction Questionnaire (Young Population); nomophobia levels will be evaluated with the Nomophobia Scale.
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
A single-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted at the national institute of rehabilitation medicine, Pakistan, from April to July 2016, on 30 females who were recruited through non-probability convenient sampling technique and randomly allocated to the experimental and control group.
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.
Participants between the ages of 18-64 who were diagnosed with cervical myofascial pain syndrome will be included in the study. cervical sagittal parameters, numerical pain rating scale, Bournemouth neck questionnaire and cervical range of motion will be measured and evaluated.
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 study is to translate & culturally adapt Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire into Urdu language along with investigation of the reliability & validity of Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire in General Population of Pakistan and to correlate with Neck Disability Index, Visual Analogue Scale, Neck Pain and Disability Scale and Rand 36-Item Health Survey
Abstract\sBackground Physical therapists frequently utilize dry needling (DN), which focuses on trigger points and non-trigger point structures, to treat mechanical neck pain (MNP). It is an invasive procedure that involves inserting solid fiber needles into myofascial trigger points or hyperirritable nodules that are painful to the touch. This procedure can affect the motor and autonomic neurons and relieve pain. Objectives examining the short-term effects of dry needling in combination with a standardized exercise program on pain and quality of life in chronic mechanical neck pain Methods The allocation of 18 participants to the DN or Exercise intervention groups will be done at random. Before the exam, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Short Form-36 Quality of Life Scale, and Numerical Rating Scale (NPS-11) will be evaluated. Analytical Statistics For the statistical analysis of the data, SPSS 23.0 will be employed. The "Kolmogorov-Smirnov test" will be used to determine whether the data are distributed normally. The effectiveness of each intervention will be determined using a paired t test, and between-group comparisons will be made using an independent t test. The distribution of categorical variables will be compared using a chi-square test. A 95% confidence interval and p0.05 will be used to determine significance. Key words: mechanical neck pain, dry needling, neck exercises, and quality of life.
