Sampling: consecutive of patients who are referred from the family doctor to the Primary Care physiotherapist. Intervention: COGMO Intervention Group (3 components: pain neuroscience communication, motivational interviewing and cognition targeted exercise therapy). Control group: Health education program. Variables: Main: Decrease in intensity of pain: yes / no (> = 30mm on the visual pain scale). Secondary: Related to pain (severity of pain, modulation conditioned to pain, temporal summation, decrease in the disability index, related to psycho-emotional-social aspects: decrease in fear / avoidance behaviour, decrease in kinesiophobia (TSK) and Catastrophism (PCS). Quality of life (Euroqol). Sociodemographic, other treatments, adherence to intervention. Data collection: Baseline visit and 3 follow-up visits (3,6,12 months). Statistical analysis: Intention-to-treat analysis. Difference in the percentage of subjects who achieve success in the main variable at 12 months in the COGMO group compared to control group. A GEE logit model to adjust for other factors.
Mechanical Neck pain is the second most commonly occurring musculoskeletal disorder worldwide, ranking 4th in overall disability. It is referred to as Nonspecific generalized neck pain with mechanical characteristics with a primary location between the supranuchal line and the first thoracic spinous process, includingpatients suffering from mechanical neck pain are reported to have several impairments, including pain, reduced cervical ROM, neck disability, and proprioceptive dysfunction. The treatment indicated involves the use of electrotherapy and thermal modalities. In addition, the use of different manual therapy techniques is advocated; however, the most effective management is still debatable. Evidence suggests that Natural Apophyseal glides have a significant positive effect on mechanical neck pain patients. So the study will identify the additional effect of cranial base release with natural apophyseal glides in alleviating pain and its effects on proprioception.
The aim of our clinical study is to investigate the efficacy of combining a program of manual techniques for the treatment of chronic neck pain with the simultaneous application of TECAR through the use of two special anti-static electrode bracelets. 80 women with trigger points in the neck muscles and neck pain symptoms for more than 12 weeks will be randomly divided into two groups. In the first group, the combined treatment of manual techniques with two TECAR anti-static electrode bracelets will be applied, while in the second group, the same protocol will be applied without the electrode bracelets. All participants will undergo a total of 15 treatments over five weeks with a follow-up after six months. Pain with the numbered pain scale (PNS pain), pain threshold of the upper part of the trapezius muscle, the sternocleidomastoid, the levator scapulae, and the splenius capitis with a digital algometer, range of motion of the neck with a goniometer and functional ability with the "Neck Disability Index" questionnaire will be assessed before and after treatment period with a follow-up six months later. For the statistical analysis of the results, a two-factor analysis of variance with repeated measurements will be applied, while the statistical significance index will be set at p < .05
Neck pain is considered one of the very common cause of musculoskeletal pain. It is 4th leading cause of disability with a prevalence ranges between 30% and 50% among general population. cervical pain is among 5 most contributing factors in causing years lived with disability. Mechanical neck pain is identified by neck pain that gets evoked by sustained neck postures, neck mobility and by the palpation of cervical muscles. diagnosis is made through history and physical examination and can be helpful in differentiating from other causes of neck pain. functional impairments suffered by mechanical neck pain patients include weakness of deep cervical flexors, because of activation of superficial cervical muscles, reduced mobility of cervical spine, development of forward head posture, altered proprioception and disturbed balance leading to functional disability and decline in health related quality of life. there are different treatment approaches that include pharmacotherapy, manual therapy, active exercises, stretching, traction and electrotherapy. physiotherapy is often the first line treatment approach for individuals with mechanical, idiopathic and insidious neck pain but manual therapy is preferred through its biomechanical and neurophysiological responses that eventually leads to reduction in pain and improved function in clinical practice.thoracic manipulation and kinesio taping has proved to be very effective in treating mechanical neck pain patients according to several studies despite of their certain limitations. this study aims at evaluating effects of kinesio taping combined with thoracic manipulation in mechanical neck pain patients.
Neck pain ranks as the 4th leading cause of disability, with high prevalence of mechanical neck pain in young population. As high as 30% of %. Individuals suffering from neck often report difficulty in performance of daily life, absence from work and decreased productivity. Several manual therapy treatment approaches are used for mechanical neck pain. The focus of this study is to compare the effectiveness of thrust and non-thrust thoracic manipulation for the treatment of mechanical neck pain in young population
Neck pain has a global prevalence of 30%, being the fourth leading cause of disability among general population and is more prevalent among females than males, as per concluded by evidence. It is undoubtedly the need of time, to address its proper treatment and to hinder its recurrence amongst the general population. The current physical therapy management of neck pain is more focused towards achieving the short term goals for the patient rather than addressing and amending the actual cause of its relapse. Manual Myofascial Release is one of the very effective treatment used to release soft tissue and fascial adhesions over the myofascia inorder to relieve chronic neck pain. The study aims to compare this manual treatment against Instrument Assisted soft tissue mobilization in order to determine which of the two provides improved outcome in terms of pain, neck disability and cervical Range of motion.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Cervical Stabilization and Oculomotor Exercises in addition to the classical physiotherapy on pain severity, cervical joint position sense, posture, cervical joint range of motion, strength and endurance of deep cervical flexor muscles, static and dynamic balance, neck awareness, functional disability and patient satisfaction in individuals with chronic neck pain. When the literature is examined, there is no study comparing the effectiveness of cervical stabilization and oculomotor exercises in individuals with chronic neck pain. However, it has also attracted our attention that a progressive and dynamic program was not followed in studies stating the oculomotor exercise program. In this sense, The study is important in terms of both comparing the effects of these 3 treatments and presenting a progressive and dynamic exercise protocol to the literature.
The primary purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of a culturally adapted cognitive behavioral based tele-rehabilitation program compared to usual care for Hispanics/Latinos with chronic neck or low back pain. Goal Oriented Activity for Latinos with Spine Pain (GOALS) is an evidence-based cognitive behavioral physical therapy program that has been adapted for Hispanics/Latinos with chronic spine pain. GOALS combines 2 in-person evaluation sessions with 6 telephone treatment sessions provided once a week for 8 weeks by a physical therapist trained in cognitive behavioral approaches for pain management. Usual Care involves 8 weeks of in-person treatment as recommended by a physical therapist at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) outpatient rehabilitation clinic. The primary outcome that will be evaluated is pain-related disability as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory Pain Interference scale. It is hypothesized that participants in the GOALS intervention will experience a greater improvement in pain-related disability than participants in the Usual Care group.
This prospective observation multifaceted study aims: 1. To perform a large prospective study and identify multiple "omics" biomarkers in chronic low back pain 2. To validate identified biomarkers for progression of acute to chronic low back pain 3. To validate identified biomarkers and test their heritability/validity in additional cohorts 4. To identify pathways and relevant individual variations for generation, propagation and subsidence of pain 5. To identify new imaging biomarkers related to chronic low back pain 6. To develop a registry of neck and low back pain subjects to help monitor the health-care management and utility to improve protocols and patient outcomes.
The goal of this study is to explore the impact of two types of yoga-based body stretching (mild and intense) on dynamic changes of Systemic Inflammatory Cytokines (SICs) and Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators (SPMs) in yoga-naïve subjects.
