Filter by:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Mulligan mobilization technique (MMT) on pain intensity, joint position sense (JPS), kinesiophobia, and disability level in individuals with nonspecific neck pain. A total of 34 female individuals with nonspecific neck pain were included in the study. Pain intensity, JPS, kinesiophobia, and disability levels of all participants were evaluated before and after the 3-week intervention. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. In the first group, the participants received MMT by the physiotherapist twice a week for 3 weeks, and self-mobilization techniques as a home exercise program. The second group was trained only self-mobilization techniques.
to investigate the correlation between chronic non-specific neck pain and lumbar reposition sense.
Chronic neck pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects people frequently in life. Nov. Postural control is based on the process of correctly identifying and selectively focusing the incoming afferent input of the Central Nervous System (CNS). The main treatment options for people with neck pain include soft tissue and joint mobilizations, stabilization exercises for the neck, trunk and shoulder muscles, cervical Deckings, relaxation training, strengthening exercises and body awareness and posture training Nov. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of myofascial relaxation on balance, pain, joint range of motion and functionality in individuals with chronic neck pain by dividing them into two groups in the form of core stabilization and core stabilization and myofascial relaxation. The study included 45 people between the ages of 18 and 65 Dec. In two groups, the core stabilization group will be 22 people, and the core stabilization and myofascial relaxation group will be 23 people. The study period is planned as 6 weeks and 3 sessions per week.
The overall objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a physical therapy intervention based on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and application of electrotherapy in healthcare workers with non-specific neck pain.
Within the scope of this research, a single session of Wearable Technological Device (Exopulse Molli-Suit) will be applied to patients with chronic back and neck pain. The results will be evaluated acutely, after 24 hours, after 1 week and after 1 month.
To determine how vitals (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation) and craniovertebral angle will be affected by thoracic SNAGs in individuals with forward head posture.
The goal of this [type of study: Randomized control trial] is to [ compare the effectiveness of Mulligan and McKenzie Exercises along with stabilization exercises on pain, range of motion and disability ] in [ in patients with chronic neck pain].The main question it aims to answer is: - Wether Mulligan is more effective or Mckenzie exercises along with stabilization exercises in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain Group 1 will recieve Mulligan and stabilization exercises Group 2 will recieve Mckenzie and stabilization exercises
Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints and its prevalence is between 10-22%. Approximately half of all individuals will experience a clinically important neck pain episode over the course of their lifetime. Neck pain is categorized by duration as acute, subacute and chronic neck pain (acute, <6 weeks; subacute, ≤3 months; chronic, >3 months). Chronic neck pain is more common in women and its incidence increases with age. Cervical disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, cervical stenosis, myofascial pain syndrome, cervical instability, whiplash injury, Klippel feil syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical sprain, cervical strain, tumors, rheumatic diseases, torticollis, inflammatory neck pain are the main causes. Anterior tilt of the head is a common posture in neck pain. In this posture, the upper cervical vertebrae are extension, the lower cervical vertebrae are flexion and the cervical lordosis is decreased. With neck pain, inhibition occurs in the deep neck flexor (longus coli and capitis) and extensor (multifidus, rotator, semispinalis) muscles, increased fat infiltration, deterioration in type 1 and 2 fiber ratios, and muscle atrophy. The risk of micro and macro trauma increases and muscle support decreases. Thus, there is an increase in the activation response and fatigue of the neck superficial muscle group (trapeze, scalene, sternocleidomastoid muscles), and a decrease in neck joint movement and proprioception sense. As a result, it was determined that there are deficiencies in the sense of proprioception in patients with neck pain. Studies have shown that many receptors related to the sense of position are on deep cervical flexor muscles such as Musculus Longus Capitis and Musculus Longus Colli. In cases where there are changes such as atrophy and fat infiltration in these muscles, there is a decrease in proprioceptive sensation.Conservative treatment is the first choice in the treatment of neck pain. The important components of this treatment are stretching, strengthening, posture, stabilization, proprioception, relaxation, joint movement exercises and aerobic exercises. The purpose of stabilization exercises, which have been used in the treatment of chronic neck pain recently; to support the vertebral column by activating the stabilizing muscles and to improve posture by increasing kinesthetic awareness. This study will examine the relationship between the sense of cervical proprioception and cervical stabilization exercises in patients with chronic neck pain. In this study, between 15 June 2022 and 30 January 2023; 72 volunteers, aged between 18-55 years, with neck pain for more than 3 months, with good cognitive function, who applied to the our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic will be included. The patients will be randomized to two groups as cervical stabilization exercise group and conventional cervical exercise treatment group. The patients in group 1 will receive cervical stabilization exercises 1 session a day, 3 days a week for 6 weeks, and the patients in group 2 will perform cervical stabilization exercises for 6 weeks, 3 days a week, 1 session a day. conventional cervical exercises will be given. Patients of both groups will do their exercises in the first 3 weeks accompanied by a physiotherapist, and in the last 3 weeks as a home exercise program. Before the start of the treatment, at the end of the 3rd week and at the end of the 6th week; pain intensity, level of neck disability, quality of life, cervical range of motion and cervical joint position sense will be evaluated and both groups will be compared in these parameters. Demographic information (address, telephone, age, occupation, height, weight, marital status, etc.) of the patients to be included in the study will be recorded and general musculoskeletal examinations will be performed. The patients will be compared to evaluate for Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Short Form-36 (SF-36), cervical range of motion and cervical joint position sense after intervention. Cervical range of motion and cervical joint position sense will be evaluated with the Cervical Range of Motion Deluxe Device (CROM).
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the number of chronic diseases, the treatment burden resulting from multimorbidity, and health-related quality of life contribute to non-response bias in individuals with chronic back pain. Data is collected from patients at Aalborg University Hospital's Rheumatology Department through electronic means and medical records. The statistical analyses consist of two wave analyses, where we examine differences between patients who respond to invitations to participate in the study based on their response patterns; whether they respond after the first, second, or third invitation. Based on baseline data, a one-way ANOVA is conducted to identify any between-group differences in the aforementioned factors, followed by a repeated measures ANOVA to assess if there are differences between the groups over time. Finally, statistical tests are also performed to examine differences in age and gender distribution between those who complete the questionnaires at baseline compared to those who do not respond to the invitation to participate.
The effectiveness of neuroscience-based pain education, myofascial induction technique, and home exercise programs will be compared in patients with chronic neck pain.
